Financial Aid

Financing Your Graduate Degree at the Tobin College of Business

The Tobin College offers a variety of opportunities for our students to receive financial assistance in their pursuit of a graduate degree.

 

Graduate Assistantships

 

The Tobin College of Business offers graduate assistantship positions to first semester full-time students applying for admission to the College in the fall or spring term. These assistantships are awarded based on merit, and involve a very competitive evaluation and interview process.

 

Graduate assistants are selected based upon outstanding academic achievement, a commitment to community service and demonstrated leadership ability. Because our graduate assistants assume leadership roles at various levels throughout Tobin, they play an instrumental role in advancing our College's objectives. They become our ambassadors and shining examples of the level of excellence for which The Tobin College of Business is often acknowledged.

 

Considered to be one of the more generous assistantship packages offered for graduate business education, the graduate assistantship provides tuition for two years of study and a  monthly stipend. Graduate assistants are placed in research and/or administrative roles within one of our varied specializations.

 

All applicants for graduate assistantship positions must complete the Graduate Assistantship application form enclosed in our standard application packet.

 

On the Manhattan campus, only applicants to the MBA in Risk Management and the MS in Management of Risk will be considered for a Graduate Assistantship Award.

 

***Please note the deadline to apply for graduate assistantship is November 1 for the spring term and March 1 for the fall term.***
