Sanford Financial Aid
The Sanford School of Public Policy offers need-based tuition assistance and will work with every student to identify additional financial aid or scholarship opportunities from external partners.
The Sanford School of Public Policy offers a 25% tuition reduction and application fee waiver for graduate programs to federal, state and local government employees (including contractors) in a career transition resulting from changes in the federal workforce or funding within the last year.
