Additional Aid by Graduate Program
Depending on the program you’re considering, there are also additional options to help finance your degree.
Clinical Mental Health Counseling
There are multiple scholarship opportunities for students pursuing a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. These scholarships support students who have experienced challenges with mental health or have loved ones who have struggled with mental health, those dedicated to community service, and those committed to making a difference in the lives of others.
Ed.D. Executive Leadership
The Ed.D. program offers several scholarships with no additional application required including the Magis Doctoral Scholarship and the Ignatian Doctoral Scholarship. Additionally, the Employer Cohort Award is available to two or more employees from the same organization who enroll in the same cohort, providing a 40% tuition reduction. The Senator Patricia K. McGee Nursing Faculty Scholarship program is also an option for students entering into the program with a valid RN license. Students can apply directly to receive up to $20,000 per year toward their studies.
Education (MST & MSEd)
Le Moyne’s Teacher Tuition Relief Program offers a significant tuition decrease for students in the College’s Master of Science in Education (MS.Ed.) and Master of Science in Teaching (M.S.T.) programs. The new tuition rate is competitive with that at state institutions. In addition: The NYS Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program includes up to $5,000/year for up to four years. NYSUT teachers can often qualify for loan forgiveness programs, like the Perkins Loan Teacher Cancellation Program, by working in low-income schools or in high-need educational areas.
Nursing (FNP / DNP)
The Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) was established to increase the number of qualified nursing faculty by providing loans to part-time and full-time students enrolled in qualifying programs. After graduation, 85% of the total NFLP loan is forgiven over a consecutive four-year period, while loan recipients serve as full-time nursing faculty at a school of nursing. The Senator Patricia K. McGee Nursing Faculty Scholarship program is also an option for students entering into these programs with a valid RN license. Students can apply directly to receive up to $20,000 per year toward their studies.
Occupational Therapy (OT)
The OT program has several scholarships available to you. No additional application is necessary. Excellence in Occupational Therapy Scholarships: These awards support students demonstrating exceptional commitment to the program's mission to contribute to the profession through service, scholarship and leadership and to promoting occupational justice in communities. Prerequisite Support Awards: These support accepted students’ costs to complete missing prerequisite coursework. Additional scholarship opportunities outside of the College are linked below.
Physician Assistant Studies (PA)
