There is no doubt that furthering your education can be costly. But your education
is an investment in your future. Studies have shown that individuals with a
Master's or Doctoral degree have greater access to the job market and consistently
earn more than their counterparts without an advanced degree.
There are many options available to graduate students for financing their education.
Most students are interested in fellowships, assistantships, grants and loans
to help pay for all or part of their higher education. Students should be aware
of the differences of these types of aid and what is available to them. Students
may call the specific Program
they are applying to, in order to find out about scholarships and assistantships;
contact the Financial
Aid Office to find out about loans; and as well investigate finances through
outside resources.
- Fellowships are used to cover a graduate student's educational expenses
while they are working on a research project. Awards may be for single or
multiple years and are usually based on a combination of grades, GRE scores,
publications and letters of recommendation.
- Assistantships are usually campus-affiliated work assignments (graduate
teaching instructor, research associate positions) that provide a stipend.
- Grants are awarded to cover expenses associated with graduate school - especially
for specific projects, travel, computers, etc.
- Scholarships are provided to a student on the basis of academic merit
- Employer Assistance may be available from a students current employer, students
should check with their human resources department to find out.
- Loans are available from the government and other private resources.Information
about government and other loans is available through the Financial
Aid Office.
In addition to visiting the Financial Aid office at USF, the Office of Graduate
Admissions has provided a list of additional financial aid opportunities below
that students may apply for as needed. Please be aware that these opportunities
are available through sources outside of USF and are not affiliated with the University of San Francisco.
