Accountancy
Tuition & Financial Aid
Master of Accountancy students are charged $1,065 per credit hour for tuition for the 2008-2009 academic year. The Student Association fee is $1 per credit hour, to a maximum of $15 per semester. The program is comprised of 36-37 credit hours.
The School of Business offers a wide range of financial assistance to its students. These can be divided into two categories: Merit-based Scholarships and Fellowships, and Graduate Assistantships.
The School of Business automatically considers all applicants to its main campus full-time programs, both domestic and international, for merit-based awards that range from partial to full tuition. Candidates must file a complete admission application by January 15, 2008 in order to be considered for these awards for the Fall 2008 semester.
The selection process is highly competitive, and awards are made solely on the basis of merit and availability of funds. In addition, both new and CURRENT STUDENTS are considered for a number of merit-based scholarships and fellowships that have been provided to the School by private donors.
Student Loans
Most student loans are based on either financial need or creditworthiness and are available only to US citizens and permanent residents. Although GW students use loans such as Federal Stafford Loan Program, Alternative Education Loans, and the ACCESS Loan Program most frequently, other loans are available.
One form required by all federal programs is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which you must submit to the federal processor by May 1st for the Fall 2008 term.
