Making your degree more affordable

Your guide to scholarships and funding

Graduate Assistantships
We offer assistantships, which involve hands-on work related to your degree while you're in school.
Tuition Reduction Initiative
We offer a reduced tuition rate for advanced educator preparation programs approximately 25% lower than the standard graduate rate.

Scholarships and Requirements Policy

  • Scholarships cover tuition only. If your tuition is already fully paid by other sources (e.g., grants, tuition remission or other scholarships), you won’t receive additional scholarship funds.
  • Award amounts vary based on donor agreements. Scholarships may combine funds from multiple donors, so the final award on your financial aid account may differ.
  • Financial aid adjustments: If your tuition is covered by other funds, your CEHD scholarship may be reduced or withdrawn to avoid overfunding.

Steps to Receive Your Scholarship

  1. Register for classes: You must register by the start of the term or your scholarship will be returned to the CEHD.
  2. Verification: The Honors and Scholarship Committee confirms your major, other financial aid, and enrollment.
  3. Award processing: The committee sends scholarship information to the UofL Financial Aid office.
  4. Posting: The UofL Financial Aid office applies the scholarship to your account.

While we aim to post awards before the bursar’s payment deadline, you are responsible for paying tuition if there’s a delay. You will be reimbursed once the scholarship posts.
