Financing Graduate Education
Pursuing graduate education is a wise investment in your career and future. Marshall University can assist you with ways to pay for your graduate education.
Your first step will be to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which will enable the our Office of Financial Aid to determine your eligibility for an individual award package. Graduate assistantships are available in teaching, research, clinical practice or faculty support. A graduate assistantship can provide you with valuable work experience related to your graduate studies and reduce the overall cost of your education.
