Financial Aid
While the Ph.D. program has been designed in a way that may accommodate students who maintain employment, many will find that they need to adjust their hours to accommodate the program’s demands. Moreover, the program is costly. The School of Social Work makes every effort to mitigate students’ financial strains by making a variety of financial aid resources available.
Both Barry University and the School of Social Work administer financial
aid programs. Financial aid consists of loans, scholarships, assistantships, and selected tuition discounts. Students seeking financial aid must apply each
academic year. Barry University administers loan based financial aid
while the School of Social Work administers scholarships, assistantships and
tuition discounts.
Only applicants accepted for admission will be considered for financial
aid. Students should not expect financial aid during the first term in
the program as most awards are based in part on demonstrated academic capacity.
Barry University does not ordinarily offer financial assistance for
international doctoral students. All international students entering
Barry in F-1 visa status must prove adequate funding to meet their
expenses.
In order to be considered for financial aid granted by the School of Social Work for the upcoming academic year (August to August in the Doctoral Program), a student must submit to the School of Social Work by June 15:
- A Ph.D. in Social Work Application for Financial Aid
- A current Student Aid Report (SAR) based on your FAFSA application (For further information on the FAFSA and SAR, please visit the How to Apply for Financial Aid page.)
- The most recent federal income tax return
- Any other supporting material required for a given category of aid
