Students in the Classical Education Graduate Program are eligible to apply for the Braniff Fellowship, a special tuition rate of $483.20 per credit hour (a 39.6% reduction of the $800 Braniff rate). With fees, this amounts to $17,035.20 for the 36-credit Master’s and MA programs, which is $11,404.80 off the full price of Braniff tuition & fees, and $8,517.60 for the 18-credit Certificate of Classical Learning.
Once you are established in the program, you may be able to apply for a Seneca Scholarship to reduce your costs even further. Note: this is different from the discounted Braniff rate (which may also be referred to as the Braniff Scholarship Rate or Braniff Fellowship). The Seneca Scholarship pays $180 per credit hour.
**Note: We are not currently accepting new Seneca Scholarship applications. **
Seneca Scholarships are awarded based on several criteria including strength of application, student status, student need, and availability of funds.
Note: All scholarship recipients must take and complete coursework in the semester immediately following the semester of their application, and remain active students in good standing. The conditions of this status include, but are not limited to: status as an active student according to Braniff Graduate School, maintenance of a 3.7 GPA or higher, enrollment in and completion of at least one for-credit course two out of three semesters of the year, a minimum of course withdrawals, incompletes, and absences, and the timely submission of an annual scholarship renewal application.
