How do you accurately estimate the future benefit of your graduate psychology education?
Tuitions and Costs
Our Graduate Psychology students typically finance their educations through current income, personal savings, and financial aid sources. Applicants seeking financial aid must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after October 1 and list Pacific University (Federal School Code 003212) as a school to receive FAFSA data.
Financial Aid Programs for Clinical Psychology We invest in PsyD students by offering a limited number of assistantships and service scholarships ranging from $1,200 to $4,500 per year. PhD students receive a $5,000 stipend as research assistants during their first and second years.
Service Scholarships PsyD students can seek multi-year service scholarships, which are awarded at the time of admission. These scholarships are typically $3,000 per year and are available for up to three years.
Graduate, Research and Teaching Assistantships These positions assist a faculty member for approximately seven hours per week in a variety of roles. They pay $3,000-5,000 per year for the 11-month academic year.
Federal Work Study Work-study funds allow eligible students to work on campus or in the community. Indicate your interest in work-study when filling out the FAFSA application.
Federal Direct Stafford Loan Program Graduate school students may borrow up to $20,500 per year from the unsubsidized Federal Stafford loan. The cumulative loan limits are $138,500, including undergraduate debt.
Other Loan Resources Alternative loans are variable interest rate loans offered by lenders and institutions for educational expenses.
What Happens Next After receiving your FAFSA data, our Financial Aid Office designs a financial aid package based on your needs to help ensure the best possible financial assistance. For questions about financial aid or other monetary concerns, please contact our Financial Aid Office.

You can add up the numbers and count the costs of a graduate education on paper. The value of that investment, however, lies in fulfilling life’s work, rich professional relationships, and serendipitous opportunities. These are inestimable.
