CED Financial Aid
All SCED Students are advised to review the Financial Aid Resource Publications from the U.S. Department of Education and SNHU's Financial Aid FAQs
Contact the Financial Aid Office if you are eligible to apply for US federal financial assistance. Periodic announcements of requests for proposals (RFPs) and other opportunities are e-mailed to students by the School as they become available. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
There are limited scholarship funds available from the School of CED managed by the individual Academic Program Chair. The School relies on the student's application to the University's Financial Aid Office to ascertain financial need. Students are encouraged to submit FAFSA Application along with their application for admissions, or as soon as admitted; late applicants are not eligible for School financial aid their first year, as scholarships are awarded early.
There are teaching & research assistanships available to doctoral students after they complete their required Doctoral Apprenticeship Program. These are available through the Applied Research Center and the Doctoral Program Chair.
As an international student, your best bet is to explore scholarship opportunities at home, through your professional contacts, and through regional offices of organizations like the World Bank, Ford Foundation, Fulbright Scholars, and others; you cannot do this from the United States. SNHU's financial aid office offers student loans and other forms of financial aid but mostly for US nationals. The School has scholarship grants (mostly foundation, university and school endowment/fund-raising money). We award these scholarships at the time of admissions (March and April). When you are ready to apply you should also contact Connie Harvey at International Admissions for guidance on visa and financial requirements.
You should explore scholarship opportunities at home, through your professional contacts, and through regional offices of foundations with an interest in higher education. Our university’s financial aid office offers student loans and other forms of financial aid for US nationals. In all cases you must apply for financial aid no latter than July 31st. The School has scholarship grants (mostly foundation, university and school endowment/fund-raising money). We award these scholarships at the time of admissions (March and April).
As part of the program and a condition of scholarships, doctoral students work with faculty and/or the Applied Research Center as teaching or research assistants the first two years; this is unpaid, and the time when students do most of their classwork. After the second year, we encourage students to teach as adjunct faculty in the school (Masters programs) and engage in sponsored research (paid). These activities help defray students’ costs after the second year
