Financing Your Graduate Education
Cost of Education at Southeast
Incidental Fees are charged to cover educational expenses not funded by the State of Missouri. Students who are not Missouri residents are charged a non-resident fee in addition to the Incidental Fee. An additional $4.00 per credit hour fee will be added to all off-campus courses (offered at off-campus locations); an additional $5.50 per credit hour fee will be added to courses delivered over interactive television (ITV); an additional $12.50 per credit hour fee will be added to all WEB delivered courses. **ALL Lower Level (000-200 level) courses taught at the Sikeston, Malden & Kennett campuses have a total fee of $132.50 per credit hour. Upon request, Student Financial Services will furnish students with an Application for Missouri Residency for Fee Paying Purposes. A complete copy of A Policy for Classification of Students for Fee Paying Purposes, which clarifies residency status for fee paying purposes is available on our Web site. Information regarding the Missouri Income Tax Credit, a credit given for Missouri income taxes paid which can be applied towards the nonresident fee charges, is also available from Student Financial Services. General Fees are assessed for credit hours taken both on and off the University's main campus. The on-campus general fees support certain on-campus facilities and student activities, including computer labs. The off-campus general fees support expenses unique to providing instruction at remote locations. All of these fees are eligible for our Installment Payment Plan.Note: Some courses have added course fees. Please contact the department regarding these charges. A $250 per semester program fee is assessed for students enrolling in the Nursing and the Communication Disorders graduate programs. For additional information regarding fees and refund procedures, please visit http://www.semo.edu/cs/financing/fees.htm or contact Student Financial Services at (573) 651-2253. Financial Aid, Research & Professional Development Funding A limited number of assistantships to support graduate education are available through the Graduate School. Stipends for these assistantships are $6,600 per award. Assistantship requests are made at the departmental level and students should make inquiries regarding the availability of GA positions directly to a particular department. Other information regarding assistantships may be requested directly from the Graduate School. Approximately $2,600-$3,000 is available annually to support graduate student development (e.g., travel and research related to their program of study). Awards typically approximate $150 per award. Whenever possible, department and/or college funds should be accessed prior to request for graduate student development funds. Matching funds for departments and/or colleges is desirable. Applications for these funds should be made using the Graduate Student Development Request Application form. A goal in the University's Strategic Plan is that all students will have meaningful experiential learning as part of their education. The primary goal of Missouri's Funding for Results (FFR) Program is the enhancement of learning. Toward these obviously related ends, Southeast has established, as part of its campus-level FFR program, a fund to support professional experiences for students. The fund will help make possible the participation by students in real-world, professional presentations of the results of research and other creative work. The program will support travel, lodging and other expenses related to these activities (subject to University policies governing faculty/staff travel) on a competitive basis. Student Financial Services Information regarding scholarships, grants and loans is available from the Office of Student Financial Services. |
