Recurring Scholarships<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholarship amounts range from $500 to $5,000 and are only for students who are currently enrolled in or have been admitted to the College of Education by a select date each semester. Notification about the availability of scholarships and the scholarship application process will also be posted for current\/continuing undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assistantships<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another valuable form of financial assistance for students in good academic standing is through a graduate assistantship. Typically, through part-time employment within the ELPHD department, students are able to earn a stipend or tuition remission in exchange for assisting a faculty member, the department or the College of Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
