To be eligible for financial support
you must be enrolled full-time and degree-seeking. Currently,
non-matriculated students and students
enrolled in one of our Certificate programs are not eligible for financial support.
Should you be admitted to our master's program but not receive an aid package, our
Office of Financial Assistance
will assist you with loan applications. Also, please consider that our tuition
fees are very competitive; the University supports all theology master's
students by offering the
lowest tuition rate in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
We award financial assistance wholly on the basis of individual
merit. Please read our non-discrimination policy.

Graduate Assistantships and Tuition Scholarships
Applicants for full-time study may compete for a limited number of Graduate Assistantships that provide complete tuition remission and a stipend of $13,100
for the 2009/10 academic year or for Tuition Scholarships that provide complete tuition remission but no stipend. The latter permits students to maintain outside employment while in studies. Graduate Assistants are required to work for the Department of Theology and Religious Studies twenty hours each week. Tuition Scholars are required to work seven hours per week.
All awards are made by the Dean of Graduate Studies.
Both graduate assistantships and tuition scholarships are awarded for one academic year of study. Assuming the student meets the required academic and performance-related standards, these assistantships and scholarships are
renewable for a second academic year of study. Normally, graduate students in master's degree programs are not permitted to hold a graduate assistantship or tuition scholarship beyond a two year period.
For priority consideration, individuals applying for an assistantship or a scholarship should submit credentials by March 1 to be considered for
the following fall semester. Simply indicate on the
application that you wish to be considered for a scholarship.
For more information about Graduate Assistantships and Tuition Scholarships,

Tuition Plan for Primary- and Secondary-School Teachers

and all other Liberal Arts and Sciences courses.
This plan is in two forms:
- for teachers and administrators in Catholic schools; and
- for teachers and administrators in public or private schools not affiliated with the Catholic Church.
The University grants the former a 40% tuition reduction from the
standard tuition rate in graduate programs
in Arts and Sciences, the latter a 20% tuition reduction from the
standard tuition rate. For details about this tuition plan and how to apply, please click
