In addition to partial, need-based institutional scholarships offered every year, the Johns Hopkins School of Education encourages future students to consider several federal and state grant opportunities — some of which are designated for specific degree programs here at our school.
Thanks to our generous donors, these scholarships range from $800 to $3,000 per semester, used for tuition expenses.
Awards are granted yearly and are for fall and spring semesters only. Eligibility revolves around full admission, enrollment and satisfactory academic conduct. They are also contingent on an annual application process and are not automatically renewed. There are various federal, state, and private grant opportunities as well.
Please note, all awards have stipulations and terms of application. Let us support your educational journey with the financial assistance you need.
Through the generosity of our donors, our endowed scholarship awards range on average from $800 to $3,000 per semester and are applied to tuition expenses beginning in the fall semester.
