Assistantships
Graduate teaching assistantships are available on a limited basis in the Cameron School of Business, the Watson College of Education, the College of Health and Human Services, and the College of Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts. The admission application process determines the candidates for these awards. For information contact the specific department/school or the Graduate School.
Employment
The Federal Work-Study Program (FWS), which is federally funded, provides part-time jobs both on and off the UNCW campus or off campus with community service organizations, for students who have demonstrated financial need. Students who submit a FAFSA and answer “yes” or “don’t know” when presented with the question regarding wanting federal work study to be considered. Funds are limited and are awarded based upon the date the completed FAFSA is received.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for Financial Aid Eligibility (Graduate)
Federal regulations require that students receiving financial aid maintain satisfactory academic progress from both qualitative and quantitative measures: cumulative GPA (3.0), hours earned compared to hours attempted (50%) and maximum time limit (200% of the published length of the program).
Satisfactory Academic Progress and eligibility for financial aid are determined each academic term after grades are available. For more, visit https://uncw.edu/seahawk-life/money-matters/financial-aid/applying-receiving/eligibility.
Appeals
Federal regulations allow for certain cases in which the school may waive the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards. Specifically, if a student’s failure to be in compliance with one or more areas of satisfactory academic progress is due to events beyond the student’s control, such as a student’s extended illness, serious illness or death in the immediate family, or other significant trauma, and if such mitigating circumstances can be appropriately documented for the specific term(s) in which the deficiency occurred, the student may appeal to the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid (OSFA). Eligibility may be regained by appeal. Contact the OSFA to obtain a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal form.
