Each year, four All-College Graduate Scholarships are made available to graduate students. The selection criteria include both academic accomplishment and professional promise. Financial need is not an influencing factor. Applications for All-College Graduate Scholarships are available from the Office of Graduate Admissions after January 1. The application deadline is April 1 for the following academic year. New and returning students are eligible to apply.

Springfield College Grants are available on a very limited basis. Factors taken into consideration are the students program of study, level of need and prior academic achievement. The College does not guarantee funding to all eligible applicants. Applicants must complete the financial aid application process for consideration.

A limited number of positions as residence hall directors are available at Springfield College each year. These positions are held in conjunction with the full-time graduate study. Directorships include a furnished apartment in the assigned residence hall, tuition waiver (not to exceed twenty-four semester hours per year), and a stipend. Inquiry and application should be made directly to the Office of Residence Life. All applications must be received by March 1.

Another scholarship program, supported by federal funds, is through Rehabilitation Service Administration Traineeships (stipend accompanied by full or partial tuition). Further information can be obtained from the Rehabilitation and Disability Studies Department.

Graduate associateships and assistantships are available within the Colleges schools and departments for a limited number of qualified graduate students. In addition to providing remuneration up to $4,000 per academic year, a full graduate associateship enables a student to register for courses without charge for tuition up to a maximum of twenty-four semester hours per year. An assistantship is paid on an hourly basis. Persons interested in applying for graduate associateships or assistantships should complete the Graduate Associateship/Assistantship Interest Identification Form (found in the graduate application packet) and submit it to the Office of Graduate Admissions. The departmental graduate associateship application will then be forwarded by appropriate departments. Applications must be returned to the department by February 15.

A limited number of doctoral associateships are also available each year. These carry a stipend of $5,000 to $7,000 for an academic year as well as waiver of tuition. Application for such positions should be made to the Dean of the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. A detailed resume of teaching and/or research competencies, as well as academic accomplishments and professional experience, should be included with the completed application form.

The College awards a limited number of grants to international graduate students upon recommendation of the director of the International Center. Special consideration is given to those students involved in YMCA/YWCA work. These grants are for a one-year period of study. Award amounts vary.
