We understand that finding financial support is a crucial part of your graduate career. Apart from the funding you may find through the Graduate School Funding Opportunities, the Neag School Scholarships, or individual departments and programs, we also strongly encourage you to seek out external funding resources. We will also provide updates on this page regarding external funding/scholarship opportunities.
EPSY Scholars Program – Ph.D. Students
For students applying to the Neag School’s Department of Educational Psychology’s Ph.D. programs, the department also offers the EPSY Scholars Program, which has the following goals:
- To provide a mechanism for students to engage in research work that will result in peer-reviewed publications for the student.
- To facilitate faculty opportunity to support and prepare high-achieving graduate students.
The selected EPSY Scholars will receive a 10-hour graduate assistantship from the Department of Educational Psychology for up to four years, contingent on satisfactory academic standing and consistent completion of program requirements (i.e., annual submission of a progress update and plan for committee review). This is paired with an additional 10-hour graduate assistantship (provided by the advisor or program), so all EPSY Scholars will be fully funded for at least four years. The EPSY Scholars Program is intended to be a competitive program that will support recruitment of nationally competitive Ph.D. students and will facilitate these students’ engagement with active scholarship during their program.
