Student Financial Support

  • The Genetic Counseling Program is a professional degree; as such, students typically finance their matriculation through personal resources, loans and financial aid.
  • All matriculated students in good standing with the University and graduate program will receive a stipend to be credited to their student bursar account. The total stipend amount is budgeted to be $2000 per year/student. Logistical processes for time and method of disbursement will be announced.
  • Students should have no expectations of support through departmental or university research or teaching assistantships.
  • Employment outside of the graduate program may prove difficult for students due to the time investment per credit, rigor of the classes, and varied schedules for clinical site placements.
  • Fieldwork placements are weekdays only during regular business hours of 8-5.
  • Many additional sources of funding for graduate education exist through both internal and external opportunities.
    • Opportunities to seek external funding can be found through the Office of National Scholarships & Fellowships.
    • A searchable database of opportunities can be accessed through the website, in addition to resources helpful to graduate students seeking to prepare competitive applications.
  • There may be aid available based on demonstrated financial need.
