Financial Aid

There are several resources for financial aid and scholarships identified in the Graduate School Bulletin. The purpose of this section is to describe the primary source of financial assistance available through the Program in Adult Education. Generally, this assistance is available in the form of non-teaching graduate assistantships. These assistantships are provided to assist students defray their educational costs and at the same time gain a variety of experiences through their work with the faculty. Examples of the kind of duties assigned to a graduate assistant range from assisting faculty in their research efforts, to preparing newsletters for publication, to assisting with conference planning. Every effort is made to assign duties commensurate with the student's interest and faculty needs.

There are three major funding sources for graduate assistantships available through the Program in Adult Education: assistantships from the College of Education, competitive graduate school assistantships, and assistantships funded through grants and contracts.

Eligibility for an assistantship is based on the following:

The applicant's academic record,
Entrance test scores,
Letters of recommendation, and
Student need.
