Financial Aid

Teachers College has three scholarship funds: General, Minority and International Student. The College also arranges a variety of student loans with banks, most of them repayment- and interest-deferred. Limited work study funds may also be available.

Since 1993, the Clinical Psychology Program has also granted partial scholarships via the James S. Scappaticcio Fellowship for Gay Men and Lesbian doctoral candidates in Clinical Psychology. Tuition grants are available for one or two "self-identified gay clinical doctoral candidates"; small grants-in-aid are also made available for research on topics relevant to homosexuality, including psychological and/or psychosocial aspects of AIDS or HIV treatment.

The program currently does not have NIMH-funded traineeships to offer. Most doctoral students with significant financial need obtain help in the form of a tuition scholarship that covers approximately 20-40% of the cost of a year's tuition; some also receive stipends from faculty research grants. Most students also work part-time to cover expenses.
