Assistantships or other financial support may be available through the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences, The Lipman Early Childhood School and Research Institute, or the Graduate School. Students are encouraged to contact these resources. Students on assistantships that require 20 hours peer week of service are not expected to be employed in other capacities during their training. Other forms of financial assistance (e.g., student loans) may be explored through the UM Office of Student Financial Aid.
