Funding - Master's Secondary Teaching Certification
You want to come but don't know how you'll cover the tuition and expenses?
We are committed to helping you find funding to cover tuition and expenses. As part of your admission to the school, we try to match you with numerous scholarships—your application for these funds is automatic, no action is required of you. If you're selected for any of these, based on merit and financial need, we'll let you know.
If you have questions about what financial resources are available to you to help pay for your education, contact Student Affairs Program Manager Eileen F. Brussolo.
In addition to the funding that we'll find for you when you're admitted, there are even more financial resources that might be available to you!
