Financial Aid
1) Scholarship Based Financial Aid
There are two types of scholarships available in most programs. The first is
the Graduate Assistantship which includes a stipend and tuition remission. The
second is a Tuition Scholarship which includes tuition remission only.
2) Special Tuition-Reduction for Primary-and-Secondary School Teachers and
Administrators
Given its Augustinian Mission and heritage, Villanova University has long
maintained a special commitment to the teaching profession. Specifically, the
training of teachers and administrators who have dedicated their professional
lives to the education of subsequent generations holds a vaulted position within
the graduate efforts of the University.
As a practical expression of this dedication to the teaching profession, the
University has adopted a special tuition plan for primary- and secondary-school
teachers enrolled in a graduate class in any program in the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences. This plan is in two forms: for teachers and administrators in
Catholic schools and for teachers and administrators in public or private
schools that are not affiliated with the Catholic Church.
This discount is for individuals in any Graduate Program
in Arts & Sciences at Villanova University.
- For teachers and administrators at Catholic schools
The University has granted these individuals a 40% tuition reduction from the
standard tuition rate in any graduate program in Arts and Sciences.
- For teachers and administrators at private or public
non-Catholic schools
The University has granted these individuals a 20% tuition reduction from the
standard tuition rate in any graduate program in Arts and Sciences.
Details of Tuition Plan and How to Apply for the Reduced
Tuition Rate
- The individual must be accepted for enrollment into one of the graduate
programs in the College of Arts and Sciences. That is, the individual must
proceed with the usual application process.
- The individual must be a full-time or part-time teacher or administrator in a
primary or secondary school. A part-time teacher must be under contract for the
current school year and must show his/her contract. A substitute teacher must
have served as a substitute teacher the semester previous to enrollment, must be
able to document subbing at least 60 days during that semester and must show pay
stubs or letters from administrators verifying the number of days worked.
- The individual applying for the reduced tuition rate must complete a
tuition reduction form for each semester in which he/she is enrolled. In
order for the reduction to be applied to the current semester, these forms
should be submitted prior to the first day of classes each semester, but
must be submitted to the Dean’s office prior to the last day of class each
semester. Reductions cannot be applied to previous semesters. These forms
are available in all of our program offices and in the
Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies in Liberal Arts and Sciences.
- Once the individual has completed the form, it should be forwarded to the
Chairperson of the individual's program. If the individual is a part-time or
substitute, the necessary documentation needs to accompany the form.
- The department reviews and verifies the information on the form and forwards
it to the Dean's Office for approval.
