 Return to: Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy
Information on financial aid offered by the Batten School for the MPP program is available directly from the Batten School Office of Admissions and on the Batten School’s website [see Tuition & Aid on the Admissions & Aid tab].
Merit-based Fellowships
Merit-based fellowships are the primary means by which the Batten School provides financial aid to its graduate students. Admitted MPP students need not submit any form of financial aid application to receive consideration for merit-based fellowships. The Batten School awards merit-based fellowships after a review of the materials submitted in a student’s application for admission.
Need-based Fellowships
The Batten School administers several need-based fellowships, the most prominent of which is the Bocock-Hitz Public Service Fellowship. The Bocock-Hitz Public Service Fellowship is awarded to students entering their first year class or their second year of the Accelerated Bachelor/MPP program who want to pursue careers in public service. Other need-based awards are offered during the summer once all federal (FAFSA) and UVA financial aid forms are completed.
Other Batten Sponsored Funding Opportunities
The Batten School administers other funding programs to help defray the costs of unpaid, public service summer internships and Applied Policy Projects. Several teaching assistantships are also typically open to students who wish to apply, as well as course assistant, research assistant, grader, tutor, work study, and staff positions. The Batten Career Services webpage provides the most up-to-date information for internship and fellowship resource opportunities.
The Batten Graduate Council manages a Professional Development Program to support student professional development activities that are non-course related.
