While financial aid for every graduate student cannot be guaranteed, a number of stipends have been developed as part of the program. A limited number of teaching and research assistantships are available. Students who want to be considered for any form of financial assistance administered by the School of Social Work should submit an application to the Graduate Coordinator after acceptance to the program.
Student loans are another alternative for supporting graduate study.
Most students have received some form of assistance in relation to field placements. To date, agencies have offered a wide variety of financial support. Experience suggests that students are not effectively able to work over ten hours a week in part-time employment. The academic demands are just too great. Those who insist upon working more hours do so at their own risk.
