Financial Aid Overview

---

Financial aid can come from three sources: 1) the School of Library and Information Science, 2) The Catholic University of America, 3) a third party (for example, scholarships given by the American Library Association).  Most financial aid is administered directly by the School of Library and Information Science.

 

School of Library and Information Science Financial Aid
The students at the School of Library and Information Science are welcome to apply to the Dean’s Office for consideration for scholarships distributed by the School.  The application letter should include your permission to review your admission materials. The dean’s office nominates students for University Scholarships. There are several one-half tuition scholarships for study in the School of Library and Information Science. Students who want to be considered for University scholarships must submit the General Aptitude Test scores from the Graduate Record Exam even if the scores were not needed for admission.

 

Scholarships from endowments that have been contributed to the School of Library and Information Science are administered through the school. These scholarships typically are granted in amounts ranging from $200 to $1,000 as funds become available.  The School also makes funds available on a short-term basis from a loan fund administered by the school.

 

There are also special programs and scholarships which are detailed individually. 

 

University Financial Aid

Students should apply directly to the University Office of Graduate Financial Aid for loans to fund their education and for any need-based financial aid administered by the University (for example, the campus work study program) for which they might qualify. All documents intended to satisfy requirements for such financial aid should be sent directly to:
