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. These forms are available in all of our programs' main offices and in the Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies for 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.
