Funding Opportunities

Tuition Scholarships

Villanova’s graduate school tuition is very competitive, and there are a number of ways to finance your MA in Classical Studies. All of the classes are held in the evenings, permitting you to work while in the program whether you are studying part-time or full-time.

The program offers graduate Tuition Scholarships. To be considered for these funding sources, you should apply for admission in the fall semester. Applicants for spring admission cannot be considered for these awards.

There are also assistantships offered by other Villanova departments and offices. If you apply for other University assistantships, you will still be considered for internal department funding.
