Financial Aid/Tuition

NEW: We are pleased to announce that since the Fall of 2006, one full- tuition scholarship plus stipend has been awarded to an IMDA student doing Japan studies.

Also, all incoming IDMA students are eligible and are encouraged to apply for Foreign Language Area Studies Fellowships (FLAS).

The dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences recently approved Tuition Reduction Scholarships for out-of-state students accepted into the IDMA program. That means all IDMA students, including international students, pay in-state tuition rates.

For example, in Academic Year 2006, the out-of-state full-time (9–15 credits) per-term tuition for students is $12,506; for in-state students the tuition is $6,597 (or $537 per credit). This represents a savings of approximately $5,909 per term. Additional fees typically run about $250 per term for computer networking, security, transportation, and activities fees. This Tuition Reduction is valid for only two academic years.

IDMA students are eligible to apply for a variety of scholarships and fellowships administered by the Asian Studies Center. As with most financial aid, these awards are highly competitive.

Zen garden Teaching assistantships are not available for this interdisciplinary graduate program.
