Financial Aid

Financial assistance is available for qualified graduate students in the Graduate Program in Urban Planning. The Federal Government provides financial aid for qualified graduate students in the form of grants and subsidized loans. The students at the University of Kansas use the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid" (FAFSA) to apply for federal funds. This form is available from the financial aid office in Room 50 Strong Hall, at any high school, junior college or four-year institution in the United States, or call 1-800-4-FED-AID to request a FAFSA. You can also file your FAFSA on the Internet. There are also forms for special circumstances in change of income, which is particularly helpful to graduates and students returning from the workforce. The University's priority deadline is March 1.

Other forms of financial assistance are research assistantships, teaching assistantships, and fellowships. Assistantships are usually awarded after a student's first year of study, and university fellowships are highly competitive and few in number.
