coffee_maniac Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 How possible is it to get funding (tuition waiver + stipend) for graduate study in counseling psychology? I am open for doctoral studies. Schools at New England region will be highly preferred...... My background is psychology bachelor and 2 year related working experiences.... It seems quite amount of school PhD program asks for Masters as prerequisite.... I cannot afford to pay for tuition and definitely need some sort of funding for graduate studies. Any school suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha1ne Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 It's definitely possible to get funding (especially for doc programs). I'm in a counseling psych phd program now and I have guaranteed tuition waiver and stipend for 6 years. I assume most if not all PhD counseling psych programs are like that; the idea is that they won't take you if they can't fund you, it would be irresponsible. Hope this helps!

Lisa44201 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 It's more common in Clinical programs than in Counseling; counseling programs are sometimes housed in the Education department, as opposed to the Psychology department, and funding varies. You may need to check with individual programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juilletmercredi Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Many APA-accredited counseling psychology programs have full funding for at least 5 years, but of course it will vary by program. The Society of Counseling Psychology has a list of APA-accredited counseling psychology PhD programs on their website: http://www.div17.org/about/what-is-counseling-psychology/list-of-apa-accredited-counseling-psychology-phd-and-psyd-programs/ Also, geographic preferences should probably be down the list when considering programs. You want the best fit program for your research and professional interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
