Return to top of page . In the past, most graduate students in counseling psychology desiring financial support have received it for a major portion of their graduate program. Sources of funding include teaching and research assistantships, graduate assistantships with a variety of service agencies, and professional employment in other areas of the University or community. In addition, students are nominated for various University Fellowships. During the past two years, about 70 percent of our entering class have received financial support.
All employment is undertaken after consultation with, and approval from, the major adviser.
Apply for general financial aid at the same time that you apply for admission to our doctoral program. Special graduate assistantships are open to graduate students pursuing any advanced degree program offered by the College of Education. They are awarded to students with outstanding academic records. During the assistantship, students pursue both individual and collaborative research projects with a faculty adviser. These appointments are renewable, although no summer support is available through this program.
