BYU offers four types of graduate awards, all through individual departments—assistantships, internships, private scholarships, and supplementary awards. Because teaching and research are vital components of graduate programs, most graduate awards given by Brigham Young University are in the form of teaching and research assistantships and internships. Supplementary awards are tuition scholarships and can only be used to pay the cost of tuition. Audit credit, credit earned by special examination, or Independent Study may not be paid for by a supplementary tuition award.
Application
New students may apply for graduate awards as part of the regular admission process. Continuing students can obtain information and applications from their departments.
Requirements and Selection
To be eligible for assistantships, internships, or supplementary awards, students must be degree-seeking graduate students in good standing who are registered for at least 2 credit hours in the semester (or 1 credit hour in the term) for which the award is granted. The awards are competitive and generally go to students whose academic performance indicates real merit. All selections are made by academic departments.

Most student campus jobs other than assistantships and internships are listed at Student Employment Services. Students who are ready to seek employment should bring proof of acceptance as a full-time student to this office.
Certain governmental restrictions apply to students from foreign countries. Some students are not eligible to obtain work permits until they have been in school for one semester. The International Services Office is able to determine international student status regarding employment.
Federal immigration regulations require everyone hired in the U.S. to prove eligibility to work in America. U.S. citizens do so by presenting a social security card, state-certified birth certificate, or U.S. passport with a current BYU identification card. Non-U.S. citizens need to present a current passport with attached I-94 or I-20 ID.
