Paying for graduate school doesn’t have to be a daunting obstacle.
Clark University understands the financial commitment involved when pursuing an advanced degree, and we do our best to help each student achieve their individual academic goals.
Last year Clark granted more than $8.5 million in tuition scholarships to domestic and international students to assist with the cost of graduate education.
Students may also receive additional scholarship awards (see below).
