M.A. in Counseling Psychology
Graduate Fellowships
Up to 10 Graduate Fellowships are offered annually to students who have strong academic records.
Tuition waivers are granted for 30 credits. Graduate fellows work closely with a Counseling Psychology program faculty member for two semesters on advanced psychological research. This experience is particularly beneficial for students who expect to apply to a doctoral program in clinical or counseling psychology, as recent Assumption graduates have done.
A Fellowship also provides opportunities for contact with local community agencies and professionals which can be valuable in exploring practicum and internship sites as well as career opportunities. Recent Fellows have conducted research here at Assumption College as well as Boston Road Clinic, Children’s Friend, St. Vincent Hospital, and the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.
To be considered for a Graduate Fellowship, write to the Program Director explaining your interest in the program and include a brief explanation of your background and career interests.
The deadline for applying for a Graduate Fellowship is March 1.
