Full-Time Student Scholarships and Financial Aid
There are limited, partial-tuition Graduate School scholarships available. To be considered, candidates must check the block on the Financial Aid Summary and Request portion of the Graduate School application form and complete the information on Resources and Expenses.

Graduate School scholarships are awarded for the student's total program, not just one year, provided that the student remains in good academic standing throughout the program.

Tufts University Scholarships for Occupational Therapists (TUSOT)
Occupational Therapists who are employed full-time in occupational therapy practice are eligible for a reduced tuition for graduate level courses under the Tufts University Scholarships for Occupational Therapists (TUSOT) program. The rate reduction is available for courses taken for credit during the fall, spring, and summer terms. Reduced tuition does not apply to courses that are audited or for those students who are receiving tuition scholarships or are using tuition vouchers during the same semester. Registration and application fees are still the responsibility of the student.

To determine your eligibility you need only request and complete an Application for Reduced Tuition (PDF) and verify your full-time employment. No other materials are required.

Applications for College Work Study Program and Graduate Student Loans can be obtained from Tufts Student Financial Services, Dowling Hall, Medford, MA 02155, 617-627-2000.
