Welcome!
You know you want to go to graduate school. And you know it's one of the most important investments you'll ever make. But maybe you don't know how you're going to pay for it. Well, there's hope - a broad variety of sources are available to fund graduate study. It may take some research, but your future is worth it!
Funding opportunities are abundant in the nation's capital. Numerous government agencies, national corporations, and private associations in Washington, D.C. provide part-time jobs and cooperative education opportunities to students, as well as tuition assistance to their employees.Because we know it can be difficult to decide where to start, we designed this site to help you begin your search. It will acquaint you with possible funding sources and tell you where to find more information about each. On the Financial Assistance at a Glance page you will find a brief definition of each type of assistance. Following that are sections describing opportunities available through each of the GW Schools, information on GW fellowship competitions, student jobs , and student loans. In developing your funding plan, it is best to follow a process of elimination, looking first into the sources most beneficial to you. For instance, your academic record may qualify you for merit-based assistance offered by your school or department. Then look into other options, such as need-based assistance or part-time employment.
Be creative! Use the intelligence, ingenuity, and perseverance that got you this far to explore all your options. With this information, you'll be well on your way to making a wise investment in your future.
