Admissions We seek candidates for admission to the Urban Education Policy master's program who combine an interest in education policy issues with a high motivation to be successful in a rigorous and fast paced masters program. Students from a variety of different backgrounds and fields of study are welcome to apply. Our admissions committee evaluates candidates based on several considerations including personal essays, official academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, community activities, relevant job experience, extra-curricular activities, standardized test performance, and other factors brought to our attention in the application process. Financial Aid Financial aid, which is directly applied to tuition costs, can be awarded in two ways. First, tuition scholarships, which can vary from a full to partial award, are based on the merit of the entire application. In addition, students may be eligible to borrow funds through the Federal Direct Student Loan Program depending on financial need. Consideration for need-based federal aid (Federal Direct Loans and Federal Work-Study) is based on status as a U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the U.S. and is determined by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Candidates applying for financial aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov by May 15 th . Urban Education Fellows Scholarship Urban Education Fellows dedicate three years of postgraduate work to the Rhode Island urban core in exchange for full tuition forgiveness. Upon completion of the Master of Arts in Urban Education Policy program, UEFs are expected to serve in a full-time education policy position. In order to receive loan cancellation, fellows must be directly employed in the Rhode Island urban core. These commitments are inspired in part by the report to the University’s Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice, which was published in December, 2008. Urban Education Policy Handbook page 4
