Border Policy Research Institute (BPRI) Thesis Fellowships

For the 2007 – 2008 academic year, Thesis Fellowships in the amount of $5,000 per quarter (2 quarters maximum) are available for eligible students doing theses on border issues related to public policy. Students receiving fellowships will be affiliated with the BPRI. Click here for more information.

International Students

We cannot accept and process international applications without the financial guarantee documents required for the student visa. Because of our concern for student welfare, we must be sure that students admitted to the University have resources which will permit them to meet their tuition, food and lodging needs, and other expenses. We regret that we do not have the funds to offer financial aid for international students and the availability of teaching assistantships is limited. International students are generally not eligible for the teaching assistantship during the first year in order to exhibit the requisite English language skills and adapt to the new learning environment.

We encourage international applicants to explore opportunities offered through the Fulbright Programs.
