How do students typically pay for their studies at Mills? What are my financial aid options?
The English Department works very hard to provide as much scholarship funding as possible to all students, though we are unable to offer full funding to any student. The department offers both merit- and need-based forms of funding. Students are also advised to file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the priority deadline in order to be considered for need-based scholarships from the English Department. Whatever scholarships are awarded in the first year will be awarded again in the second year of study. If you are awarded a graduate assistantship in the second year, this is an additional source of funding (see below). All prospective students are also advised to apply for federal and state financial aid in the form of loans.
