FINANCIAL AID

Financial Aid

The Mandel School makes the difficult decision about where to earn a master's degree just a little bit easier by offering generous financial aid, guaranteed paid field placements for full-time students, and a variety of other scholarships and fellowships that bring a top-flight school down to earth.

In 2006, students in our School's master's program received $4.45 million in scholarships and stipends. In 2006, this level of financial support enabled the School to award full-time students an average combined scholarship and paid placement in the amount $14,692. We are proud that the award level received in the first year has been continued in the student's second year, provided the student is in good academic standing. 96% of Mandel's full-time students receive scholarships beyond the paid field placement.

MSASS scholarships are awarded to students who have demonstrated academic excellence and financial need. These scholarships are generously supported by alumni and friends.

We work closely with you on a one-to-one basis to make sure that those who want to receive an education at one of the top-ranked social work programs in the country can afford to do so.

FIELD PLACEMENTS: More than just a rewarding experience.

Every full-time master's student is guaranteed a paid field placement, providing not only a rewarding experience in practice, but an experience that's practical in its rewards. 

Paid placements mean students are on-the-job right from the start, applying knowledge they learn one week to the work they're doing the next. By guaranteeing that these placements are paid, we ensure that the agencies at which we place our students assign substantive work, giving them critical experience that will make them better practitioners, and more attractive job candidates.
