Financial Resources

Pay for your UL Lafayette educational leadership degree with the Teacher Tuition Incentive Program, assistantships, and graduate funding.

Teacher Tuition Incentive Program

If you work full time in a Louisiana K-12 school, public or private, the Teacher Tuition Incentive Program can help offset the cost of your master's or doctoral degree. Awards are based on the level of degree you're seeking and your progress toward it, and they depend on available funds each semester. You'll reapply every semester. The program can't be combined with a graduate assistantship or a school board tuition exemption.

Graduate Assistantships

Graduate assistant positions are available for qualified students in regular admission status who take nine or more credit hours toward their degree. Assistantships can help pay for your degree while you gain experience for your career. The fall assistantship deadline is March 1.

Explore assistantships and fellowships. For assistantships in the department, contact your program coordinator.
