Scholarships and Financial Aid
Graduate students are eligible for financial assistance from external, federal and university sources. Additionally, Temple students in graduate and professional programs can participate in internships, externships, assistantships and fellowships to receive further financial support. Interested applicants should consult with advisors or department chairs about the application process for their desired position.
Graduate Fellowships
Temple University also offers fellowships to support outstanding students in doctoral programs.
Fellowship recipients receive four years of funding. Two years are spent gaining experience as teaching assistants alongside our outstanding faculty. The remaining two years do not require service so that students will have the opportunity to focus on their research.
Department Scholarships
The Lew Klein College of Media and Communication offers scholarships to competitive students who study full time in our Master of Journalism, Master of Arts in Media Studies and Production and the online Master of Science in Communication Management. Please contact the Office of Research and Graduate Studies at kleingraduate@temple.edu or 215-204-8560 for more information on the scholarship application process.

Eligibility for the Federal Work-study Program is based on the applicant’s need as determined by the information on the applicant’s FAFSA. In addition, students must be enrolled at least half time and maintain satisfactory academic progress. Students are paid biweekly for hours worked.
