Graduate Financial Aid

Committed to the philosophy that all students should have access to a quality graduate school, UW Oshkosh offers affordable graduate programs, as well as numerous forms of financial aid. Through the Office of Graduate Studies, the Financial Aid Office and individual departments, students can receive financial assistance in the form of loans, grants, scholarships and student employment.

Alumni Relations Office

The UW Oshkosh Alumni Relations Office has partnered with Kaplan Test Prep & Admissions to bring all UW Oshkosh Alumni a discounted price on graduate test preparation. Visit the Kaplan Test Prep website for more information.

Note: Financial aid is not generally available for graduate students in certificate or achievement programs; also graduate special (non-degree) students can not receive financial aid.

Financial Aid Office

A good portion of financial assistance available to graduate students is offered as loans. The Financial Aid Office can help students secure this type of aid. In addition to federal and state loans, the Financial Aid office has resources about grants, scholarships and work-study.

Graduate students can find more information about financial assistance through these links on the Financial Aid web site:

As of July 1, 2012, all Federal Direct Loans for graduate students will be unsubsidized; interest starts accumulating upon disbursement of the loan. The current interest rate is 6.8%.
Subsidized Federal Direct Loans for a maximum of $8,500 will only be available for the 2011-12 academic year.

Office of Graduate Studies

Through the Office of Graduate Studies, students can apply for graduate assistantships, and as available the Graduate Studies Travel Fund, grants, and scholarships/fellowships/internships.

Tuition and Fees

The Student Accounts Receivable office posts and maintains the official tuition and fees chart for each semester. This tuition and fee information changes at least every semester. Consult these charts regularly to help you budget for your educational expenses. NOTE: At this time the MBA, DNP and MSW programs have non-standard tuition and fees.

For international students, please see our Estimated Expenses and Costs Chart for academic year 2011-2012.

Individual Departments

Students may also contact their program’s department to see if additional graduate financial assistance is available.
