Tuition & Financial Aid

Find tuition and financial aid information via Evanston Graduate Financial Aid website. Learn more about some of our funding opportunities below.

Work Study Program

Each student has the opportunity to work for four hours per week for a genetic counseling faculty member for a total of 20 hours per quarter. In exchange for this, the students will have $3,000 each quarter remitted from their tuition.

Funding for Research

Students are given up to $1,000 for their research projects so they do not need to fund their own work.

Funding for Local and National Meetings

Students are given up to $1,000 to attend the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) Annual Education Conference during their second year of training. In addition, if NSGC or another professional genetics society plans a regional meeting in the Chicago area, the program will potentially fund attendance at that meeting as well.

Scholarships

There are no scholarship tracks for the Northwestern University Graduate Program in Genetic Counseling.
