Program Costs

Students are encouraged to seek tuition support opportunities through their home institution. US-based students taking six credit hours per quarter may also be eligible to apply for a student loan through the Federal Direct Student Loan program.  For additional information, please contact the University of Cincinnati Financial Aid Office.

The program does not have scholarships, grants, graduate assistantships or other financial aid available. There is no discount for Cincinnati Children’s staff; however, the program is approved for the tuition reimbursement benefit.

Cincinnati Children’s employees may receive tuition reimbursement through EdAssist for a portion of the fees. Cincinnati Children’s fellows are covered by the HR Fellows Tuition fund up to $7500 per year; additional funding may be available through an educational fellowship grant or your division. Please consult with your business director.

Faculty and staff of the University of Cincinnati and their families are eligible to receive tuition remission. Please let the program coordinator know if you will have tuition remission.

For affiliated faculty at Cincinnati Children’s, you must apply for the benefit using the form “Tuition Remission: Affiliated Faculty Form” available from CenterLink on the Pediatric ARPT page. Submit the form first to Lori Wantlin for signature approval. The signed form will be returned to you, and you must then submit it to tuitionremission@uc.edu. Additional documentation is only required for dependents, not for your own remission request. Please note that the form must be received by UC HR before the term begins to have the tuition remission applied. Please allow ample time for processing.

Important note: Tuition remission will only cover the in-state UC part of the tuition, not the Children’s Hospital part of the tuition or the out-of-state UC surcharge ($15 per credit hour). Please contact the program coordinator for specifics. You will be responsible for paying the balance due.

If you are in the US military or a veteran and would like to use VA/GI educational benefits, contact the UC Veteran’s Certification Office at 513-556-6811 or PO Box 210121, Cincinnati, OH 45221-0121. The MEd program is certified to receive benefits, but the certificate program is not. Please let the program office know you will be receiving a benefit.

Important: If you will be covered under the Chapter 33 Post 9/11 and/or Yellow Ribbon fund benefits (where the tuition is paid directly to the University), you must let the program office know the percent of coverage you will receive.
