Lehigh also offers funding to many of it's Ed.S. students. As previous posters said it's not guaranteed and sometimes you have to seek out the opportunities yourself; they have a corresponding Ph.D. program so the doc students take priority but if there's any additional funds left it goes to the specialist students.

Congratulations to everyone on their acceptances/interviews! Nope! Wear whatever you're most comfortable in Most of my program dresses pretty casually for class (jeans, cardigans, sweaters, sundresses when it's warmer) if we don't have to go to a school immediately before/after. Sometimes for night classes people will wear hoodies and jeans since it's late at night and we've all had a long day. Some students will wear gym clothes if they plan on going to workout right after a morning class. Professors don't seem to mind either way

Yes, this is pretty typical for that program! I was interviewed (and accepted) for their PhD last year; there was no individual interview at all. I did not have to do a writing prompt but maybe that's something they include on a year-by-year basis

No problem! I wish I had seen this post sooner. Did you end up submitting the application?

I applied to this program during the last application cycle so I'm not sure if my experience/information accurately reflects the current state of the program. I applied due to interest in one of the professor's research, the fact that they have a center dedicated to working with families and children with autism (my primary interest), focus on licensure (I believe this is pretty new for them; one of their newest faculty members was pioneering this movement) and a desire to apply to a school geographically out of my comfort zone. During the interview day I found out that my research interest was no longer my POI's primary research interest. I also realized that I wanted to attend a university with more faculty. However, the faculty and students were extremely friendly and professional throughout the interview day. I had a really enjoyable experience. I ended up being accepted into the program and they offered probably the best funding offer I received throughout the cycle (a 4 year fellowship package). I ended up declining for the reasons stated above: small faculty and only a mild match of research interests. In the end, it was not enough to convince me to move across the country. However, for someone who may be more local, these reasons may not have been a deterrent. What reasons do you have for thinking that the program is not sustainable?

This happened to me during my application process. I sent an email saying: Dear Dr. XXX, Thank you for this exciting news! XXX is one of my top choice programs (note: you may want to add for what reasons. I didn't because I had made it clear in a thank you email that I had sent previously) and I look forward to receiving an official offer in the near future. Thank you, again! Best, XXX

I think that it is possible to find school psych programs with faculty who have an interested in trauma (though, it will be hard to find those specifically interested in refugee-related traumas). Have you considered counseling psych programs? Counseling psychologists can work in schools after obtaining the necessary qualifications
