Fully Funded Higher Education PhD

[selrach759]

Does anyone know of doctoral programs in Higher Education that are particularly good at offering full funding to all its admitted students? I'm aware that some schools have fellowships that require a special application or TA-ships; however, I'm wondering if there are programs that offer full funding with acceptance.

I'm mostly looking at programs in the west, and currently considering Higher Ed PhD programs at these specific schools:

University of Arizona

UCLA (I'm a CA resident)

Penn GSE

Can anyone suggest other well-funded Higher Ed PhD programs even if they're not in the west? Personal anecdotes would be definitely appreciated!

ps. I'm aware that aligning faculty interests should be a high priority, too!

Are you set on a Higher Ed program specifically or would you consider other specializations where there may also be professors who study things aligned w/your interests?

I'm mostly set on Higher Ed; however, I've also been looking at faculty and programs in schools that offer Educational Leadership/Administration doctoral degrees.
