MPA Partner Program Scholarship and Employer Tuition Assistance

The Voinovich School is honored to work with numerous state agencies, municipalities, professional associations and private corporations. Some of these organizations have formalized an agreement with us to be considered MPA Partners. Employees of our MPA Partners will receive a $1,000 scholarship for their first academic term of the Executive or Online MPA program. If your employer is not a partner, talk to us about the possibility of helping them become one.

Additionally, some employers offer tuition assistance programs. Check with your HR department to see if such a program is available and if you're eligible.

Military or Veteran Scholarship

As an active-duty member or veteran of the U.S. military, you’ve demonstrated your passion and commitment to helping others. Now as you consider your next challenge, you may be looking to continue finding ways to positively impact your world. In recognition of your public service, the Voinovich School offers a $1,000 scholarship to veterans and active duty military from any branch for one term towards your program tuition.

Welcome home, Bobcat!  Ohio University graduates can receive a $1,000 scholarship for their second or subsequent term of the program.

Financial Aid

In general, financial aid for part-time graduate study (regardless of discipline) is available only in the form of student loans. To begin the loan application process, you need to complete and submit a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). The school code for Ohio University is 003100.
