Graduate students ordinarily may not accept two different financial awards from the university simultaneously. Students who have applied for two different awards and are offered both should inquire at the dean's office of the school of matriculation before acceptance. Students who hold fellowships, assistantships, internships, or Russell Scholarships may not accept employment outside of their academic department without the permission of the graduate director and the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology dean.

Graduate students who have received aid administered by the Office of Financial Aid must report to that office any change in income, such as scholarships, loans, gifts, assistantships, or other employment received subsequent to the original aid award.
