Students have found numerous creative ways to pay for college. Almost all of them require some form of effort on their part - some as simple as filling out a form. Its amazing how many students can't find the time or inclination to even do that!

The department encourages students to explore any or all of the following options to make college more affordable (links are on the left).

• Commonwealth Honors Academy
• Internships
• On-campus jobs
• Scholarships

Graduate students
A limited number of assistantships are available through the College of Business and Public Affairs. These are either Research assistantships or Teaching assistantships.

All assistantships are competitive. To be considered, you must have all your application material in place - test scores, transcripts, letters of recommendation etc. - and be admitted without conditions.

Please complete the application form found here. It is the same (assistantship) application for all graduate programs in CBPA.
