How to Pay For Grad School

Worried about cost? You can easily estimate your costs with UCM's graduate cost calculator. Not only are UCM's costs lower than most Missouri colleges and national averages, but makes finding and applying for scholarships easy! The scholarship application will open by September 1. Complete your application for scholarships before the priority deadline of February 1 for your greatest chance of being selected. The scholarship application closes on March 15. Other ways to fund your graduate education include:

  • Graduate assistantships - gain experience while financing your education!
  • Federal financial aid - this can be used toward the cost of tuition, books or other living expenses and usually does not have to be repaid until after graduation.


Also, when you choose to continue your education at UCM, you will have the full support of the Office of Graduate Studies. This team will help connect you to the research support and funding opportunities you need to complete your graduate experience
