For students enrolling in the One-Year MPA program, the School offers financial assistance in the form of:

Voinovich Fellowships

A limited number of applicants will be selected as Voinovich Fellows in the School’s substantive areas such as economic development, children and families, community-based prevention or social entrepreneurship. These Voinovich Fellows will receive a fellowship to cover tuition in the first and second summers. During fall and spring semesters, these Fellows will complete 15 hours of work per week for a tuition waiver and graduate assistant stipend. They will perform a variety of tasks, such as working on applied projects in Ohio communities, leading focus groups, administering surveys, and undertaking research assignments to support our applied project work.

Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis. Indicate the types of financial aid for which you wish to be considered on the application for admission. To be considered, you should apply by February 15; awards are announced in April.

Financial Aid

For students enrolled in Ohio University graduate programs, other financial support may be available. To begin the financial aid process, you need to complete and submit a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). The school code for Ohio University is 003100.
