Master's students are not eligible for teaching or research assistantships, nor are the demands of the program compatible with full-time or part-time employment. The only significant source of financial aid is a student loan, although a small number of merit-based tuition reduction awards are available.
Merit-Based Grant Awards
Each year SESP makes a small number of merit-based awards to admitted masters students. In order to be considered for these rewards, applicants are required to submit GRE scores and Analytical Writing scores. The admissions committee determines recipients based on the strength of their application. These awards do not require a separate application.
