Are there scholarships available? A – At present, no scholarships are available, although external funding is being sought.
Also, the IYFD program was admitted to the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) Western Regional Graduate Program (WGRP) in April 2006. Therefore, students from Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming will be offered in-state tuition upon acceptance into WGRP. Students apply to WGRP directly through the IYFD program once they are admitted into the IYFD program. Q – Does the program offer teaching assistantships? A – The program has one M.A. level teaching assistantship that is reserved for an advanced student. There are other teaching assistantships on campus, often available through a competitive application process. Certain schools and community agencies pay for advanced graduate student work too, although this compensation may not be adequate for complete support.
