CSSH Graduate Fellowships, Assistantships and Scholarships

CSSH fellowships, assistantships, and scholarships are awarded to full-time degree candidates through the Graduate Office, at the recommendation of its departments.

Questions about CSSH assistantships and scholarships may be directed to the CSSH Graduate Office (gradcssh@northeastern.edu).

Assistantships for Doctoral Degree Students

All admitted PhDs are awarded Stipended Graduate Assistantships (SGA). These awards offer a stipend, tuition remission and the NUSHP health plan to full-time students. Student fees, including the University Health and Counseling Services fee, are not covered by the assistantship. In order to maintain awards, students must be making satisfactory progress toward their degrees. More details about assistantships are included in the admissions offer letters.

The Experiential PhD

The experiential PhD gives doctoral students opportunities to collaborate with, and work in, arts and education organizations, local and state agencies, non-profits and businesses in the Boston area and beyond. Experiential Fellows and Summer Scholars receive the same benefits as the Stipended Graduate Assistantship.

Scholarships for Master’s Degree Students

All eligible applicants admitted to the CSSH master’s programs are considered for Excellence Awards and Tuition Scholarships. All scholarships are offered for the duration of the program and can substantially reduce the cost of the degree. Excellence Awards and Tuition Scholarships are awarded through the CSSH Graduate Office, at the recommendation of its departments.

University Graduate Scholarships and Fellowships

Information about various fellowships, grants, and scholarships can be found on Northeastern University’s Office of Fellowships website. This office also assists students with finding and applying to prestigious fellowships.
