100% of tuition is covered (in-state only beyond first year) for CSP and HIED students with an internship or assistantship. General fees are not covered. The CSP internship/assistantship stipend is $10,000, whereas the HIED stipend is $15,000. There are no waived credits for previous experience, but students may transfer in up to 9 graduate credits. Students are required to submit a signed Description of Service (DOS) with their application materials.

Internship Requirement

Students who are Coverdell Fellows are required to participate in an internship that entails working with an underserved population. There are 50 different internship/assistantship sites located on campus and within the region. Each internship/assistantship includes various administrative responsibilities relative to higher education student services.

Students who are Coverdell Fellows are required to complete at least 10 hours of volunteer service per academic school year.
