Joint Degree Students
Scholarships and grants are awarded by the school in which the majority of the student's courses are taken per term. If a student wishes to change his/her joint degree status from one home school to another, the student must contact both offices of admission (in writing) to advise them of the intent to change the home school. Financial aid will be re-addressed per that school's policies, procedures and available funds. Students may begin a joint degree program in either school to which they have been accepted. Any student pursuing a joint degree with the School of Law may complete the additional year either in the beginning or at the conclusion of the three-year Juris Doctor program. Students who have completed their counseling courses will not be eligible to receive financial aid even though they may still be enrolled full-time in the other school.
Selection of Award & Scholarship Recipients
School of Psychology & Counseling awards and scholarships are allocated to students based on the policies and procedures contained herein and based upon availability. Applications for the limited need-based assistance are reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee, consisting of representatives of the Admissions Office and Dean's Office. For new students, merit aid awarding, if applicable, will occur in conjunction with acceptance to the School of Psychology & Counseling. For continuing students, awarding typically occurs in the summer prior to the upcoming academic year.
