Dean’s fellowships for master’s students are prestigious awards that recognize a student’s excellent academic record and whose life experiences and background would contribute distinctively to the community of scholars at the GSE and the field of education. No service is expected in return for a fellowship nor do fellowships need to be repaid. Dean’s fellowships are awarded along with the offer of admission. If an offer letter does not include fellowship information, a fellowship has not been awarded. Fellowship offers are final and non-negotiable.

To be considered: All applicants, including both U.S. domestic and international applicants, are automatically considered for Dean's fellowships as a part of the application process. No additional action is required.

Fellows will learn about current issues and challenges in the new ecology that is impacting young children and families today.

At the graduate level, university financial aid typically refers to student loans offered by . Most of our master’s students take out loans as part of their financial plan.

Federal Direct Loans are direct subsidized and direct unsubsidized loans based on eligibility, with borrowing limits in place.

Federal Direct PLUS Loans allow students to borrow any loan amount up to the total student budget determined by º£½ÇÂÒÂ×ÉçÇø, less any other resources.

Private (non-federal) loans, sometimes called alternative loans, are offered by many banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. Private loan programs may offer interest rates and terms that are competitive with those of federal loans.

To be considered for student loans: While any student may apply for private loans, federal loans are only available to U.S. domestic students and are not available to international students. Students seeking federal loans must apply through the central by completing both a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the º£½ÇÂÒÂ×ÉçÇø University Graduate Loan Application. Admitted Master's students who wish to receive a financial aid award letter before April 15 must apply by the priority deadline, typically in early-to-mid-March.
