Credit Load and Financial assistance: As stated previously, Ed.M. students take 69 credits (72 credits if the student does not have an undergraduate degree in psychology and needs to take a course in cognitive development) and Doctoral students take a minimum of 90 credits. Students should assume that they will take 24-30 points each academic year (September-May) and 6-9 points during the first summer. There are a number of financial aid resources to assist with educational costs. You will need to consult with the program faculty and the Student Aid Office to obtain information regarding these resources. The current sources of financial aid are as follows:

¨      Teachers College minority group, foreign student, and general scholarships;

¨      The Miller Scholarship, established to provide student support of approximately $4,000 yearly to a student in the program;

¨      Grant support;

¨      Work Study;

¨      New York City Board of Education Scholarship Program. Call (718) 935-2449.  Currently this internship is open to bilingual students, primarily English/Spanish (speakers of other languages are also occasionally acceptable), and African-American students;

¨      Doctoral students are eligible for a Student-Grant-in-Aid toward the end of their doctoral program. Awards are available for a maximum of 2 semesters and on a first come first serve basis. These awards should be used when students are enrolled in HBSK 8900. See your advisor for details.
