If you have been an athlete at Pitt as an undergraduate and are continuing as a graduate student here next year, ask the Director of Graduate Studies in the department about:
the George I. Carson Graduate Tuition Fellowship from the department of athletics. These fellowships are awarded to graduate students who are or were affiliated with an athletics program here as an undergrad and are or will be graduate students at Pitt. "The recipients must be of high moral character, or outstanding undergraduate achievement, and demonstrate the potential for outstanding graduate study." The amount of the awards varies but cannot exceed full tuition and fees plus the standard housing allowance.
Awardees who were student athletes will be required to work a specific number of hours in the Athletics Department in order to receive the funds (NCAA rules).
