Students should consult with the Office of Student Financial Services  for information on the different funding sources including scholarships; loans; on-and off-campus employment; teaching, research, and graduate assistantships; and paid field placements.

The current tuition and fee schedule is available from the Office of Student Financial Services. Tuition and fees are payable either by mail or in person at the Office of Student Financial Services, online using the C.L.A.S.S. system, or by phone with MasterCard or Visa. Checks and money orders should be made payable to Adelphi University. More information on Adelphi’s payment and refund policies is available in the Graduate Bulletin.


Deferred Payment of Tuition
Tuition can be paid in installments. Advanced arrangements must be made with the Bursar's Office in Levermore Hall. An additional fee will be applied. No student can graduate until all outstanding debts to the University are paid.


Loans
Students demonstrating financial need may apply for state and federally funded low-interest loans, including Stafford Loans. Apply through the Office of Student Financial Services located in Levermore Hall.


Howard Davis Memorial Fund
A limited amount of money is available for emergency, short-term loans. Specific terms are arranged with the Dean, to whom applications should be directed.


Scholarships and Fellowships
A limited amount of scholarship money is available to New York State residents through the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). Apply through the Office of Student Financial Services.


Graduate Assistantships
Graduate assistantships are awarded on the basis of merit, financial need, and relevant skills. Students who meet the appropriate selection criteria may apply for tuition remission. Each student is assigned to a faculty member who supervises the student's work. The student is required to work one hour per week during the academic year for every $1,000 in financial aid. The most common graduate assistantship is for $5,000, which requires five hours of work per week.

Every student applying must complete the Financial Aid Form and submit a copy to the Chair of the Financial Aid Committee. In addition, students must submit the Derner Institute Application for Financial Aid Form and a copy of their most recent federal income tax return or, if dependent, a copy of their parents' federal income tax return. The original FAF and the income tax return(s) should be submitted to the Office of Student Financial Services as Adelphi.


Part-Time Employment
Students seeking part-time employment should go to the Student Placement Office in Levermore Hall. Any job related to psychology must be approved by the dean, in regard to legality, professional ethics, and necessary supervision.
