EPoL is committed to removing barriers and providing our students with an affordable pathway to a Master’s in Education Policy and Leadership. EPoL is typically experienced as an intensive full-time, one-year (four-term) program, as such we are committed to economizing students’ tuition and maximizing campus and community resources.
We encourage applicants to be proactive and explore all available financial aid, scholarship, and funding options provided below. Our application timeline is set up to coincide with most financial aid and scholarship deadlines.
Financial Aid
Many of our scholarships are based on financial need, so it is important for you to complete the Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) by the federal deadline.
Submit the University of Oregon as your university of choice. Our code is 003223.
Free Application for Student Financial Aid
International students and those not able to file a FAFSA are eligible for College of Education scholarships and, while not required, are encouraged to establish financial need by submitting a financial resources form to the Office of International Affairs.
Dreamer students including students who have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status or Temporary Protected Status (TPS) as well as other undocumented students who are ineligible to submit a FAFSA may submit an Oregon Student Aid Application (ORSAA), which is an alternative to the FAFSA.
Additional Scholarships and Funding Resources
- Campus Graduate Employee positions - While EPoL does not guarantee Graduate Employee (GE) positions, students interested in pursuing GE positions are encouraged to apply for relevant listings.
- There are many hourly positions available on campus that are open to students, including those utilizing work study awards. Jobs are posted and applied for on Handshake.
- Future Stewards Program - The program will provide an opportunity to work with the nine federally recognized tribes of Oregon and Native American tribes that had traditional and customary tribal boundaries in parts of the state of Oregon or that ceded or reserved lands within the state of Oregon to help to make graduate education more accessible for their members.
COE Scholarships
We provide a number of scholarship and funding opportunities in an effort to offer students support in pursuing their degrees and professional futures by removing as many barriers to those goals as possible.
Students currently applying for a COE academic program, but not yet accepted at the time of the deadline, should still submit their scholarship application for consideration, pending acceptance into the program.
We use one common application that will automatically enter you into consideration for any scholarships for which you meet selection criteria.
Cost of Attendance
Cost of attendance is the estimated cost to attend the UO for the academic year. The Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships provides estimates for cost of attendance information that goes beyond tuition and fees, and includes: living expenses (housing and food), books/supplies/equipment, transportation, and miscellaneous personal expenses.
