Costs and Financial Aid
Financial Assistance
The Graduate School of Management offers a number of Graduate
Assistantships to full-time master's degree students. These positions
carry academic year stipends from $3,250 to $6,500, plus a tuition
scholarship to cover all instructional fees. All graduate assistants
must carry at least 8 semester hours of graduate credit per semester,
and work from 10 to 20 hours per week. The duties of a graduate
assistant range from research, to computer lab assistant, to advising
and administration.
Financial assistance decisions are made independently from admissions
decisions and are based primarily on academic merit; financial need
is NOT a factor. However, issues such as diversity, special abilities,
skills and work experience are taken into consideration.
Assistantship Application Deadline: Completed application by

Direct Loans
Direct and FFEL Stafford Loans are the U.S. government's major form
of self-aid. The terms and conditions of a Direct Stafford or a
FFEL Stafford are similar. The major differences between the two
are the source of the funds, some aspects of the application process
and the available repayment plans. Direct and FFEL Stafford Loans
are either subsidized or unsubsidized. A subsidized loan is awarded
on the basis of financial need, and an unsubsidized loan is not
awarded on the basis of financial need.
Students must complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student
Aid) for loan eligibility, which can be obtained from the Office
of Student Financial Aid, 103 Michael Schwartz Center, (330) 672-2972.

Deferred Payment Plan
A deferred payment plan is available for students
who receive tuition benefits through their employers. Check with
the Graduate Office for more information.
