Financial Aid Information


The KU School of Social Welfare provides many opportunities for financial assistance to doctoral students. The School directly provides Teaching Assistantships in many areas of the curriculum and Research Assistantships in many fields of research.  We also occasionally have some privately funded scholarships for students of color. In recent years, all students who wished to have a Research or Teaching Assistantship have received one. For information about these and other Graduate School based awards, see the Doctoral Program Handbook Appendix on Doctoral Student Funding Opportunities.

You can find additional information on Funding Opportunities in Section XIX of the appendix of the Ph.D.. Handbook found here: Ph.D. Handbook

The KU Graduate School provides a variety of highly competitive awards, scholarships, and fellowships for entering and continuing students. Completion of application to our program by November 20 is necessary to be considered for these. See the University of Kansas website (Graduate School) for information.
