Research, or graduate assistantships, fellowships and scholarships are academic awards made by the individual academic departments.
Non-academic awards may be graduate assistantships unrelated to a particular area of study, or loans. Applications for Lehigh and federally funded loans may be obtained by clicking here or directly from the Office of Financial Aid, located at 218 W.

INSTRUCTION
Completion of the application is required of all applicants who wish to be considered for Lehigh-funded fellowships, assistantships and scholarships. All future inquiries regarding such assistance should be directed toward the academic department to which you are applying.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT APPLICANTS
Visa regulations require that international applicants have sufficient funds available for the duration of their entire program of study. If offered admission and accepting the offer, they must provide verification of financial support for themselves and their accompanying dependents for the first calendar year. Except for assistantship appointments, international students should not plan on other employment as a source of support. For students from countries that impose restrictions on the exchange and release of funds for study in the United States, approval of release of funds will be requested if the applicant accepts the offer of admission from Lehigh University.
