Financial Aid

As an applicant for the Educational Counseling program, you are eligible to apply for several forms of financial aid. After you apply, the USC Financial Aid Office will determine your financial need and process your Financial Aid Summary which will consist mostly of federal loans. In addition, USC participates in a variety of private student loan programs and offers the opportunity for students to apply for institutional scholarships. The USC Rossier School of Education also offers program-specific and education-related scholarships, fellowships and grants. For more information on financial aid, visit the financing graduate study page.

Additionally, USC Rossier School of Education offers Dean’s Scholar internships, similar to graduate internships, for a select number of scholarship recipients in the Educational Counseling program. Graduate internships are available through other USC campus departments and other colleges and universities in the area.
