Financial Aid

The University of Cincinnati offers excellent financial aid packages.  The majority of our students receive some financial aid.  Below are some examples of the kinds of aid available.

Scholarships or fellowships that pay partial tuition

Currently all genetic counseling students receive partial tuition remission scholarships and have the option to accept graduate assistantships.

Money for living expenses

You can receive a stipend (money for living expenses) through teaching assistantships or other work applicable to your major.

Yates Fellowship for Minority Students

Under-represented U.S. citizens or permanent residents may be eligible for the Yates Scholars Program. This award includes a full-tuition scholarship, a waiver of general fees, and a possible monthly stipend to pay for living expenses.

The Yates Scholars Program covers one academic year and will continue in all following years as long as the student maintains sufficient academic progress toward her/his degree. Since 1998, the Genetic Counseling Program has awarded five Yates scholarships.

Your application must be received and approved by February 1st.  Yates awards are effective in September, at the beginning of the autumn academic quarter.
