Applications are accepted after September 1 for entrance the following fall, and must be postmarked no later than March 1. Applications received after March 1 will be considered on a space-available basis. In addition, a personal statement, a current resume or curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation are required. Applicants with advanced degrees who wish to be considered for the shortened program should specify this on their applications as should applicants who want to study on a part-time basis. To help students meet tuition and living costs, financial aid is available in the form of loans and some scholarships.
Parental information is required in order to be eligible for university scholarships.
The deadline for financial aid applications is March 1. Financial aid awards are made only when all the required forms and documents are received by the Financial Aid Office. Fortunately, electronic filing has led to more timely and efficient processing. An application and a separate publication on financial aid describing ways to finance educational costs and explaining the application process are sent to all students who apply to the program. Visit the Opportunities Page for more information on funding opportunities available.
