Financial Aid

Think you cannot afford an SSA education?
Think Again.

Funding your graduate education can be challenging. SSA makes every effort to assist students in this challenge by offering exceptional scholarship assistance to its students as well as facilitating other forms of financial assistance.

• In the 2006-07 academic year, SSA provided over $4 million in scholarship and support money to its students.
  
  
• Last year more than 95 percent of students received scholarship awards.

• Although scholarships are awarded for one year, 100 percent of scholarships were renewed for second-year students last year.
  
  
• Additional scholarship and fellowship opportunities are available for second-year students, including some paid internships.
  
  
• Students supplement SSA scholarship awards with federal and University loans and work study.
