Financial Aid & Tuition

We offer the most affordable MA in English of any public institution in Utah. Along with the small price come small class sizes, generally 15 students. In addition, our faculty hold terminal degrees and are passionate about teaching. All this and more makes a Master’s in English at Weber State University a terrific value. Use the Tuition and Fee tables for the estimated cost to complete a degree. Most students complete the 33-credit-hour minimum in six semesters.

Scholarships

Scholarships are generally awarded during the spring semester for the following year. While awarding scholarships, we carefully consider academic performance, contributions to the profession and contributions to the program. We gladly offer the following scholarships:

  • Excellence in Scholarship or Creativity Award
    • This scholarship will be awarded to a student who excels in scholarly or creative activities that go beyond the classroom.
  • Janine Webb Graduate Studies Scholarship
    • This scholarship for Weber State graduate students can be found on ScholarshipUniverse and requires at least a 3.7 GPA on the student’s official transcript.
  • Need-Based Completion Award
    • This scholarship will be awarded to an applicant who is within 12 credit hours of graduation and who has demonstrated financial need.
  • Trailblazer Scholarship
    • This scholarship will be awarded to students with outstanding potential who actively contribute to a richer, more varied academic landscape.
  • Wildcat Scholarship
    • This scholarship will be awarded to a student who received their undergraduate degree from Weber State with the highest GPA of all applicants that cycle.

You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for scholarships. Registering for nine graduate semester hours will classify you as a full-time student. However, you must register half-time for financial aid, which requires a minimum of five graduate credit hours.
