Financing Your Education

We support affordability for our graduate degrees in a number of ways.

In-State Tuition for Neighbors

We offer in-state tuition for not only residents of Illinois, but also to residents of our neighboring states. Those neighboring states include: Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Iowa.

Graduate Assistantships

By taking part in a graduate assistantship, students receive a tuition waiver and a monthly stipend. Full-time assistantships may be available. Graduate Assistantship positions will be posted on the ISU job site.

Scholarships

Mennonite College of Nursing celebrates more than 100 years of nursing graduates, and our community of passionate, giving alumni generously donate to fulfill private scholarships each year, with some of them available to graduate students. Applications are available each fall and spring term for a limited time, and one application applies to all potential scholarships.

Illinois State University also offers scholarship opportunities for graduate students.
