Financial Aid
At the School of Behavioral and Organizational Sciences, every student we feel is capable and suited to our programs is awarded a merit-based fellowship. This is one way we realize our mission of making high-quality graduate education more accessible to a diverse group of students. You will be contacted directly by a faculty member at the time of admission to discuss the details of your financial aid package.
Generous gifts to Claremont Graduate University and significant increases in faculty research funding mean a substantial increase in the number of stipends available to you as our student. You may also be hired as one of our paid teaching assistants, research assistants, or on-campus program assistants. For a list of many of the ways in which students finance their graduate education, follow this link.
