Financial Support

Financial aid packages are offered to qualified students on a competitive basis.  In recent years, BGSU and the Department of Accounting and MIS have been able to provide financial assistance to many, and sometimes all, full-time domestic and international MAcc students for one academic year.

  • Full-year financial aid packages provide funding for all tuition and general fees (except general fees in the summer) plus a cash stipend to assist with living expenses.
  • Partial-year financial aid packages provide tuition for:
    • a) Fall or spring tuition and general fees
    • b) Summer tuition
    • c) A reduced cash stripend
  • Full-year cash stripends vary but are expected to be sufficient to cover at a minimum between 30% and 40% of a students living expenses.

Many of the financial aid on offer require students to work a minimum of ten hours per week, during a fall or spring semester.  In recent years, the MAcc students' financial aid assignments have included:

  • Working at a local CPA firm
  • Working at local corporate offices
  • Working on campus in various roles/locations
  • Faculty teaching and research support
