The department offers a limited number of graduate assistantships and teaching fellowships to qualified students and also recommends students for University Research Fellowships. Although the department is not able to guarantee financial assistance for all entering students, every effort is made to help students locate support within the University or in professionally relevant employment in the Salt Lake area. Financial aid resources vary from program to program and are sometimes limited to candidates who have completed specific curriculum requirements. All students receiving a tuition benefit must meet financial support requirements through the University of Utah for each semester that the benefit is received. Graduate School fellowships and awards are available.
Student loans are available.
You may also be eligible for fellowships due to background, ethnicity, career goals, parents' occupations, gender, or other factors. Be sure to mention that you will be a graduate student. The Counseling Psychology program makes available to all students, including all those in their first year, a limited number of teaching assistantships. A number of related traineeships are also available in the community. Many students work part-time in professionally relevant jobs to support their graduate education and sometimes receive field practicum credit as well as a wage or stipend.
