Financial Assistance from the University
Financial Aid: The Department of Bioethics awards partial tuition support
for a limited number of assistantships. Awards are based on merit and need. Teaching and/or research assistantships require a minimum of 10 hours/week for the Department.
Work-Study Assistants: Students who qualify financially as
work-study assistants receive an hourly wage in return for a
variety of clerical and instruction-related services. Payments
to work-study assistants do not include tuition remissions.
Research Assistants: Research Assistant positions on funded
research projects are available on an intermittent basis. Such
employment opportunities for research assistants fluctuate unpredictably
from semester to semester.
Student Loans: Contact the Financial Aid office (216.368.4530)
for information regarding student loans. Students financed by
federal loans must remain registered for not fewer than six
semester hours (defined as half-time) each semester to maintain
continued eligibility for funding or to initiate such a loan.
Other Sources
Students are also encouraged to seek funding from sources other
than CWRU. Most universities and colleges maintain files on
granting agencies and foundations. Applicants may find it to
their advantage to consult financial aid offices of the institutions
in which they are currently enrolled to learn about fellowships
and loan support for their intended graduate studies. FinAid,
the Financial Aid Information Page (http://www.finaid.org)
provides a free, comprehensive, independent, and objective guide
to student financial aid.
