Obtaining your PhD is a full time job. To assist you to focus and engage in meaningful academic experiences relative to your continued academic and professional success, every effort is made to provide some financial support through a combination of tuition waivers to cover the cost of tuition, a monthly stipend, and health insurance benefits.

New and continuing students are welcome to apply for assistance. More recently admitted students are given priority for available funding but the school welcomes continuing students to apply based on the availability of resources.

To receive financial assistance from the school, students must be full-time, take only advisor-approved courses, and meet all the criteria published by the Graduate College and the School of Social Work. In acceptance of some financial assistance students are required to act as research and teaching assistants and participate in seminars that provide essential learning material and experiences vital to educational and professional development. Please feel free to contact the PhD Program Coordinator for further details, as financial aid can vary year-to-year.

Where else can you find assistance to fund your education?
To supplement assistance received through the ASU School of Social Work, or to provide continued financial assistance the following resources are available to assist you:
