Graduate Student Scholarships

We recognize that the decision to pursue graduate-level studies indicates an important commitment of time and resources. Here are some resources available for qualifying graduate students:

School of Graduate Studies Scholarship

The Graduate Scholarship is a tuition reduction percentage, based on the GRE or GMAT scores and admission GPA.

Availability

  • The Graduate Scholarship is available for students in:
    • All on campus Master programs (except professional master programs and MSW).
    • Professional Doctoral level programs: EDS, EDD, DPT.
    • Doctoral programs PhD, ThD.
  • The Graduate Scholarship may overlap with another scholarship from an 老司机传媒 budget.
  • The Graduate Scholarship will not be available for programs that already have a discounted tuition below the standard tuition rate.
  • If the Graduate Scholarship is greater than the discount provided by the specific program, then the difference will be awarded as an additional scholarship.
  • The Graduate Scholarship does not apply for staff members that are using the free class benefit from 老司机传媒. If the Graduate Scholarship is greater than the discount for which the staff member is eligible for, the difference will be awarded as an additional scholarship.
  • The Graduate Scholarship will be assigned by the School of Graduate Studies and Research and applied by the Office of Student Financial Services at the time of a student’s registration.

Scores

The scholarship is awarded if the student meets the minimum admission scores for the GRE or the GMAT, achieves the higher scores listed below and has an admission GPA equal to or greater than 3.0. See AU Bulletin, for more information.

 

Scholarship time limits:

  • Master's level programs—4 semesters
  • MSSLP, EDS, EDD—6 semesters
  • PHD, THD—8 semesters
  • DPT-9 semesters

Eligibilty

  • Graduate students who meet the appropriate GRE/GMAT scores and cumulative GPA are eligible for the Graduate Scholarship. Students are required to take the GRE/GMAT and submit official transcripts prior to admission. Students who take the GRE/GMAT and submit official transcripts during their first semester (for example, the test is offered only on Sabbath or once per year in their home country) and are eligible for the scholarship will receive the scholarship during their first semester.
  • A new graduate student may take the GRE/GMAT test multiple times during their first semester for the purpose of increasing their scholarship for the second and following semesters. In that case, the highest score will count toward the GRE/GMAT scholarship. All three sections of the GRE (Verbal, Quantitative and Written) must be taken together at the same time as the three scores from one test date are considered for the scholarship.  After the first graduate semester, retaking the GRE and earning a higher score will not change the scholarship.
  • In order to retain the Graduate Scholarship, students are required to maintain the minimum GPA for their program. Students whose GPA falls below the required minimum for their program will permanently forfeit the scholarship. 
  • Students applying and accepted to a second graduate degree, who already had received the Graduate Scholarship, may be eligible for the scholarship for the new program.
