Financial Assistance
The UGA Graduate School offers these financial aid options for students who apply to the MAcc Program by the tuition assistance deadline with a completed application. (Note: A completed application means you have completed and submitted all of the application requirements.)
Graduate Assistantships
Recipients must enroll as full-time students and will work approximately 13 hours per week to assist with duties as defined by the Tull School. Graduate assistantships provide a stipend of approximately $7,667 and reduced tuition to $25 per semester.
All admitted MAcc students who met the tuition assistance deadline are automatically considered for graduate assistantships. No further application is required. Previous recipients’ averages were a 3.85 overall GPA, 690 GMAT, and 3.95 Accounting GPA. NOTE: Applicants who meet the GMAT waiver requirements and apply by the tuition assistance deadline will still be eligible for graduate assistantships without taking the GMAT exam.
If you are not selected for a graduate assistantship and you qualify for an out-of-state tuition waiver, you will automatically be considered for the waiver (details below).
Out-of-State Tuition Waivers
Non-resident admitted students can seek to have a portion of their tuition waived for one academic year. If you wish to be considered for an out-of-state tuition waiver, you must apply by the tuition assistance deadline. [Note: you will first be considered for a Graduate Assistantship.] These awards are based upon academic records and recommendation of the department. Candidates must have a 3.30 undergraduate GPA or a 3.50 graduate GPA and 550 GMAT and plan to be enrolled for a minimum of 12 hours each semester to be eligible for nomination.
NOTE: Nominations for out-of-state tuition waivers are made at the department level. Final award decisions for out-of-state tuition waivers are made at the university level.
Scholarships
Various scholarships provided by the J.M. Tull School of Accounting will be awarded to competitive MAcc candidates who apply by the tuition assistance deadline and meet scholarship requirements. Scholarships vary in amounts from $500-$10,000.
The Tull School awards upwards of $100,000 in scholarships to incoming MAcc students each year. All applicants who apply by the tuition assistance deadline each semester are eligible and considered for these scholarships, which include both need and merit based awards. All applicants are encouraged to apply early to be considered for these scholarships and to indicate in your application whether you need scholarship or other assistance to attend graduate school.
In addition, the Tull School awards a wide array of scholarships to our undergraduate accounting majors each spring. All MAcc accounting students are urged to apply. Banquet scholarship applications, including the due date, will be emailed to your UGA email in early spring semester each year.
MAcc students can also apply for scholarships through the GSCPA and AICPA as well as NASBA and other outside organizations. Tull regularly notifies students of these opportunities via UGA email.
If you are a current MAcc student or are interested in applying and would like more information on Tull’s scholarship opportunities, please contact the MAcc program office or the MAcc academic advisor.
KPMG MADA Scholars fund
The Tull School is proud to announce that KPMG is providing new scholarship opportunities for incoming MAcc students. These scholarships vary in amount. All applicants who apply by the tuition assistance deadline are considered.
