There are several sources of financial aid for graduate students in EDMS. The Department supports several graduate assistantships that are awarded on a competitive basis. Typically, beginning assistants work on a consultative/tutorial basis with non-majors who need help with course work. Later on, assistants may have responsibility for instruction in undergraduate courses. In addition to assistantships awarded through EDMS, the Department has been very successful in placing students in other units throughout the University. Also, students have been successful in obtaining fellowships from sources outside of the University. For example, students have been supported by fellowships from Educational Testing Service (ETS).

     Outside of the Department, there are other forms of financial support through the University. All prospective students should check the Graduate School website for information concerning fellowships and others forms of financial aid: Grad School
