Financial Support
Internal Support
Graduate students enrolled in the program are typically funded through departmental assistantships (e.g., teaching and research assistants, office assistants, etc.), whereby students can earn a stipend to financially support their academic endeavors.
In addition, the department has a limited number of scholarships available for graduate students in the program.
Current departmental scholarships:
- Mary Caulkins Teaching Scholarship ($1000)
- Dissertation Award in Ethnic Minority Mental Health ($500)
- Outstanding Scholar Award for Social Justice ($500)
However, many students have living expenses beyond that which can be afforded through their stipends.
For this reason many students opt to find additional funding through student loans and private scholarships (see "External Support" section).
External Support
Student loans are a viable way to financially support graduate students in our program. A large majority of our graduate students took out student loans last year. Please visit the Financial Aid Office if you would like further information.
Private scholarships are another way to fund your graduate education. A number of students have reduced their loans by taking advantage of the many private scholarships available.
Private scholarships:
- Gates Foundation Minority Scholarship
- Horowitz Foundation Award for Social Policy
- Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellowship for Minorities
- APA Minority Fellowship Program
