Ed.D. students may be eligible to receive financial assistance from Penn GSE and other funding sources.

Review the funding opportunities below and learn how you can apply or be considered.

The Empowerment Through Education Scholarship reflects Penn GSE’s commitment to expanding access and fostering inclusivity. This scholarship provides financial support for students in the Mid-Career Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership.

Applicants can opt-in for consideration by answering additional questions during the application process. This scholarship is independent of merit-based awards and may be combined with other funding up to the full cost of tuition.

A limited number of Research Assistantships are awarded to incoming full-time, traditional Ed.D. students who show high academic potential. Packages may include partial tuition support, a living stipend, University health insurance, and a research and teaching apprenticeship.
