AT A GLANCE

A valuable investment
A Monmouth University education is an investment that pays a lifetime of dividends. The median weekly salary for those with advanced degrees is 30% more than for individuals with only a bachelor’s degree, according to the Council of Graduate Schools. The council also says that people with advanced degrees can expect overall lifetime earnings that are an estimated 19% higher.

To help you realize your goals, graduate scholarships based on cumulative undergraduate GPA are available to matriculated students in most master’s degree programs and are renewable each semester. Awards of up to $5,700 per semester are available depending on GPA and the number of credits taken. Qualified students may also be eligible for graduate assistantships in which on-campus work is performed in exchange for tuition. These positions are limited in number, and there is a competitive application process.

Also available are scholarships specifically for math and science educators that are automatically awarded. Other federal, university, private, and program-specific funds are available depending on eligibility. For more information on graduate programs, visit monmouth.edu/graduate.
