While the department does offer some grant and scholarship money, funds are limited and therefore students are encouraged to seek out-of-department and private scholarships. Most students fund their degree with student loans and/or part-time work. Students have financed their studies in a variety of creative ways. Some students maintain their full-time or part-time positions that they had prior to beginning the program. Other students have pursued on-campus positions within the Educational Psychology Department (Graduate Research Assistantships, Teaching Assistantships, Assistant Instructor positions); however, these positions are very limited. The best way to find out about these positions is by applying through the Department of Educational Psychology and by consulting with program faculty. Our students have also obtained on-campus positions with other departments - the Graduate School maintains a list of links to employment on campus and off campus. We also encourage our students to apply for fellowships and scholarships. The Department of Educational Psychology solicits applications for departmental fellowships during the fall semesters; professional organizations in counseling and counseling related fields, such as The American Counseling Association, also offer scholarships. Further, the Regional Foundation Library offers resources in finding award funding. Many students also seek government-subsidized Financial Aid through FAFSA. We recommend visiting the Graduate School’s website for more information about funding and financial support.
