Awards and Funding
Students fund their education through a combination of sources including loans, fellowships and awards, assistantships and grants. Several awards and scholarships are supported by generous contributions from donors to the School and University who value the current and future contributions of our students.
- UNC’s MHA program has among the lowest per-credit costs of any peer program. As you consider offers from other schools, think through the following:
- What would be the total tuition cost for each program I’m considering given their tuition rate and the number of credit hours required?
- Does each program I’m considering charge a flat-tuition rate for full-time graduate students? UNC charges full-time graduate students for 9-credit hours per semester, whether they take 9 or 16 credit hours in that term.
- What is the cost-of-living differential between the programs I’m considering? UNC’s Graduate School provides this page for cost references.
