Applying for Admission:

Financial Aid
It is the university's policy that no student from the United States or Canada who is
accepted for admission and is in good standing shall be prevented from attending
Carnegie Mellon because of financial need. To implement this policy, the university
has an extensive financial aid program including fellowships, scholarships and grants.
The department augments this program through grants and assistantships for research
and training. The Training Grant Link provides more information on these programs,
which may have specialized requirements.
We currently provide complete support (tuition plus a 12 month stipend) for all of our
graduate students for four years, and we expect to continue to provide such support for all
students who enter our program. Although it is not necessary to apply separately for
financial aid. the department encourages applicants to apply for national competitions
(such as NSF pre-doctoral awards).

Deadlines and Requirements
Applications for admission and financial assistance, together with three letters from
faculty or others who can assess research potential must be submitted by December 15.
The GRE general scores are required, the GRE should be taken in the preceding October
or December at the latest. There is a $45 application fee, which must be submitted along
with the application.

Letters of Recommendation
We require 3 to 4 letters of recommendation. We do not have a specialized form for
these letters. We suggest that you use the online letter of recommendation feature.

1. You must complete and submit the online application.

2. The recommender will automatically receive an email from our system with
instructions on how to complete and submit the letter online.

3. The recommender will receive an on screen acknowledgement confirming the
letter was submitted successfully.

Our program will still accept letters of recommendation mailed directly to our
psychology department.

Test of Spoken English Requirement
Foreign students who are non-native speakers of English are required to take the Test of
Spoken English, administered by TOEFL Programs and Services, in order to be reviewed
for admission into the Psychology Graduate Program at Carnegie Mellon.
