General Financial Aid
Graduate Liberal Studies Program administers two types of financial aid: need-based scholarships available to degree candidates and community support scholarships.
Need-based Scholarships:
These scholarships are available only to students
admitted to degree candidacy (matriculated).
-
Director's Scholarship: a limited amount of GLSP financial aid is
available each term in the form of a tuition discount. This discount
only applies to tuition, not to registration, course fees or other charges.
Aid is awarded on the basis of financial need.
- Samuel Hugh Brockunier Scholarship:
a scholarship established by Mrs. Eloise Brockunier to honor her husband,
who taught American History and social studies at Wesleyan from 1930 until
1981. Any student who teaches or plans to teach pre-collegiate social
studies and demonstrates financial need is encouraged to apply. This
scholarship is awarded in addition to any other financial aid the student
receives.
- Daltry-Kaemmerling Endowed Scholarship:
awarded to students who are beginning the program and who demonstrate
financial need.
- GLSP Alumni Scholarship: established through the generosity of GLSP
alumni and awarded to GLSP students who demonstrate financial need.
Students seeking aid from these sources must submit a GLSP financial aid application
to the GLSP office by 5:00 pm July 7, 2008. Download

the scholarship approved, the scholarship will be renewed each term the
student enrolls until the student notifies the GLSP of a change in
employment status. Students do not need to re-apply each term.

employees. Students wishing to receive this scholarship must submit confirmation of

Non-Wesleyan Financial Aid
The James Madison Fellowships
The James Madison Fellowships were created to honor Madison's legacy and
Madisonian principles by providing support for graduate study that focuses on
the Constitution--its history and contemporary relevance to the practices and
policies of democratic government. The benefits of the fellowship program
are manifold and lasting. Fellowship recipients have a unique opportunity
to strengthen their research, writing, and analytical skills. In the
process they form professional ties that can significantly influence their
career aspirations. Fellows gain a deeper understanding of the principles
of constitutional government which they in turn transmit to their
students. In this way the James Madison Fellowships ensure that the spirit
and practical wisdom of the Constitution will guide the actions of future
generations of American citizens. For further information, please visit
the James Madison Fellowship Program
website.

Employee Benefits
Many
corporations and agencies offer some form of tuition assistance to employees who
are continuing their education, usually through their Human Resources
departments. Students should ask their employer if tuition assistance is
available to them.
Student Loans
Students may be eligible for
Stafford loans. Students are advised to submit applications for bank loans a
minimum of six to eight weeks prior to the start of a term in order to receive
their loan on time. Please note that matriculation and enrollment for a minimum
of two courses (6 credits) in the fall and spring terms, and one course (3
units) in the summer term is required in order to be eligible to receive a Stafford loan. Interested students should contact the
Wesleyan
University Financial Aid office for information.
Veterans’ Benefits
Veterans should consult the
appropriate Veterans Administration Office for information as to their
eligibility for federal education benefits. At the time of registration,
veterans receiving benefits must present a certificate of eligibility to the
GLSP office.
