The master's program offers a limited number of graduate fellowships, graduate assistantships, and tuition and fee waivers for students admitted to the on-campus program. Students admitted to the online program are not eligible for departmental aid. *
Financial aid may be requested on the graduate application for admission. To receive full consideration for financial aid, applicants must meet minimum application requirements, have checked the box in the application form requesting financial aid, and be registered in the Graduate College in good standing. Selection criteria include academic merit such as grade point average, application materials, specific talents, and needs of the Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communications Department.
Additional opportunities for financial assistance are available through the University of Illinois Graduate College and the Office of Student Financial Aid.
*Tuition and fees are direct costs charged by the university. The cost of attendance also includes indirect cost allowances for food, housing, books, supplies and other expenses. You will not be billed by the university for these costs unless you live in university housing. Use the Illinois Cost Calculator for an estimated cost of attendance.
