• What kind of funding financial aid is available for students in the Master's program?

  

  There are three main ways that students can fund their education: Merit-based tuition scholarships. The Master's program offers scholarships in the form of tuition discounts that can range between 30-75% of tuition. These awards, determined at the time of admission, are non-negotiable, and are renewable for the time the student is enrolled in the master's program and are non-negotiable. Federal Financial Aid. Students who are US citizens or permanent residents are eligible for federal student aid. At the graduate- and doctoral-level, this funding is largely federal loans. Students can use this funding to pay for their tuition expenses, but also living expenses like housing/rent/groceries, etc. Federal aid also includes “work study” positions on campus. Student Employment. Students at the university do have the opportunity to secure positions for funding. Only “work study” positions are restricted to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. All other student positions, like research assistantships, teaching assistantships, teaching fellowships, and many student staff positions, are options for international and domestic students.
