Financial Assistance

Exceptionally qualified full-time MSM students may compete for graduate assistantships from the Department of Management. These assistantships are awarded on a highly competitive basis, and involve activities to assist faculty with research and teaching tasks (typically 10 hours per week). Graduate assistants pay a significantly reduced academic tuition fee, and are paid a modest stipend. Interested students must complete a Clemson University Graduate School Financial Assistance Application and submit it directly to the Department of Management. Prospective graduate assistants should submit their assistantship application as soon as possible, preferably at the same time they complete and submit application materials for admission to the program.

Other financial assistance programs may also be available at Clemson University, mainly for U.S. applicants. Please contact the Graduate School for more information on these programs.

Note: Financial assistance (if awarded) for MSM students is not sufficient to meet all expenses (including room and board) each year. Students will be responsible for any financial obligations that are not covered by the assistantship. The Graduate School will inform you of the amount that needs to be certfied at the appropriate time. Please note that financial assistance is typically quite rare in Masters level Business programs at most U.S. universities.
