Financing Options

There are many options when it comes to financing your master's degree.

You can apply for federal financial aid, which is not based on need, check your company for employer reimbursement or gain scholarships.

Our Admissions Specialists can talk with you about your options.

Scholarships

Upon completion of an application, individuals will be eligible to receive an internal scholarship. If awarded, this scholarship will be applied to your student account every term. Scholarship recipients will be notified of their award at the time of admission.

It is also a good idea to search for scholarships not affiliated with 杏吧原创. Some corporations, employers, churches, community organizations and other groups provide opportunities for graduate students. 杏吧原创's Financial Aid Office maintains a database of scholarships for students to access, search and apply for awards.

Employer Reimbursement

Many of our students use their company tuition reimbursement benefit to finance their education. Check with your company about this valuable option.
