We understand the challenges of paying for and funding your higher education goals, and we are transparent with current and prospective students, connecting them to the assistance they need and informing them of the cost and aid available. To identify the best sources of financial support, we encourage potential and current students to review the information below.
Tuition
HSPop MPH is an state supported graduate program with in-state and out-of-state tuition. Rates are set each year by the UW School of Public Health within guidelines approved by the Washington state legislature.
Tuition RatesFinancial Aid and Funding
A variety of financial aid, funding, and resources are available. Students are typically supported by a combination of assistantships, fellowships, student loans, and outside employment. It’s important to start the process of funding your education at the same time you apply to programs.
Assistantships
Assistantships are a form of paid academic employment in which students receive tuition reimbursement for the tasks they perform for faculty members, departments, or colleges. Positions include research assistant (RA), teaching assistant (TA), and staff assistant (SA).
Admitted students may apply to positions after they accept their admission offers, and are hired directly by the employing department, not this program.
