Graduate Assistantship/Partial tuition waiver packages, partial tuition waiver only packages

All financial aid discussed below is subject to change depending on Brooks College of Health allocations
For the coming academic year, the Brooks College of Health anticipates awarding several graduate assistantship/partial tuition waiver packages and several partial tuition waiver only packages (without graduate assistantship). All of these packages are for students new to BCH graduate programs, and will be granted for a two year period
for those students maintaining eligibility, and satisfactory performance in the assistantships.
NOTE: All fee waivers are partial, and do not cover the total cost of fees. All fee waiver packages are subject to funding.

Eligibility Requirements:
Eligibility requirements for all waiver packages are as follows: The applicant must:
   1. be fully admitted to a graduate program in the BCH;
   2. be a full-time graduate student enrolled in a minimum of 9 credit hours per semester;
   3. have a minimum admission GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale; and
   4. maintain a GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale while enrolled in the graduate program.

Application process: Applications are available on-line:
1. Prospective students submit two applications: one application goes directly to the Program Director for the program in which applicant is interested. The students submit the waiver application by the program’s admission deadline (or July 15th,
whichever is the earliest) (see program specific information located on the BCH website).
2. The student then submits a duplicate application to the Associate Dean’s office, to the attention of Carol Murray.
3. Both applications should be submitted via e-mail with an attached MSWord file that is labeled: BCH Waiver App. (student’s
last name); applications may also be submitted via regular mail. Applications should be submitted separately to Ms. Murray and the appropriate Program Director.
4. The application deadline is the admission deadline for the program the student is interested in, or July 15, whichever is the earliest.
5. Applications received by the Associate Dean’s office will be acknowledged via e-mail or regular mail.
