MFA Applicants Students
who complete their applications by February 1 will automatically be
considered for graduate assistantships or teaching fellowships. These awards currently provide full tuition
remission (except for fees and the required student insurance) and a stipend
of $8,750 ($4,375 for each semester).
Stipends for 2010-2011 are expected to increase to $9,000 for
full-time assistants. Graduate tuition in 2009-2010 for two semesters is $4,338
for in-state residents and $17,352 for those from out of state. The MFA
Program provides 20 assistantships (one of which is part-time with a $5,550
stipend). For the 2010-2011 academic year, the Program plans to increase the
number of assistantships to 21: 20 full-time and one part-time. We accept approximately 10 students each
year into the three-year program, of which 7 are typically granted MFA assistantships
and Students on
assistantship are also eligible for scholarships that can increase their
annual stipend (almost all students on assistantship receive at least $500 in
scholarship assistance, with plans to increase this amount to $750 by Fall
2010). ALL students, whether on assistantship or not, are eligible to apply
for scholarships. Teaching
Fellowships require that students have at least 18 hours of graduate English
credit before they are eligible to teach classes. Almost all students (whether awarded
assistantships or not) have opportunities to teach in their second year and
third years. Click

Applicants Students
applying to “Georgia’s Public Liberal Arts University” (rated the 18th best
public university in the south in the Master’s category by U.S. News and
World Report) have several opportunities for financial aid, highlighted
by the HOPE scholarship for Georgia state residents which pays for tuition
and fees and provides an allowance for books (currently $150 per
semester). Students who have a “B”
average in high school, and maintain that average in college, are eligible
for HOPE. ALL
students (in-state or out-of-state) may apply for scholarships, grants,
loans, and work-study funding. GCSU
estimates that the per-year cost for a full-time, out-of-state student is
about $22,000, considerably less than one would pay for a private liberal
arts college, especially when financial assistance is figured in. Few private colleges have undergraduate
