Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton dedicated her life to making higher education accessible for all. We carry on her legacy by making graduate school affordable — not only through our tuition costs and scholarships, but also by making sure students understand all their options, including federal aid, graduate assistantships and more.
We see the promise of higher education, which is why we are committed to funding as many scholarships as possible. Once accepted into a graduate program, you may be eligible for an endowed or University-subsidized scholarship, including the Graduate Merit Scholarship.

The Graduate Merit Scholarship

Once admitted to a graduate program, you may be considered for a merit award, which can range from several thousand dollars to as much as 50 percent of your first-year tuition. Consideration is based on your prior GPA and degrees completed, as well as your program of study. Funds vary by academic department and awards are applied to tuition charges only. To learn more, contact the Office of Graduate Affairs.

External fellowships, scholarships and grants offer financial support as well as the opportunity for professional growth beyond your core academic studies. They are competitive, merit-based awards designed to help you focus on your graduate research and training, without the requirement of service to the University.
OGRS has curated a detailed list of fellowship opportunities available through government agencies and private institutions.
The Office of Graduate Affairs has also curated a list of external fellowship and scholarship databases to help you find the opportunities that might fit your needs and area of study.

Assistantships allow you to develop useful professional skills while earning tuition coverage, as well as a monthly stipend. Responsibilities are related to teaching, academic research or administrative work and pay full tuition for a certain number of credits each semester. Assistants are typically required to work 20 hours per week and maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher. Seton Hall offers a limited number of these opportunities each academic year, which often renew for a second year if the student and supervisor are both happy with the arrangement.


We proudly partner with leading local and national organizations to enable professional development and continuing education for their employees. Through our corporate partnerships, graduate students enjoy up to a 20 percent discount on graduate and continuing education tuition, along with customized courses for workforce education and access to complimentary leadership workshops.
We’re excited to help you take the next step toward your graduate degree. Whether you want to explore our exceptional programs, connect with someone from admissions, schedule a tour or submit your application, your future begins with a simple click.
