Financial Aid for Undocumented Students

Undocumented students, including DACA students, are NOT eligible for federal financial aid (including the Federal Pell Grant), but may be eligible for other types of aid.

Graduate Assistantships

Graduate Assistantships are not offered by The School of Business. Some may be offered throughout Portland State University and are usually posted on individual department websites. However, open positions can be found on The Graduate School website.

On-Campus Student Employment

Once admitted to a graduate program, students will be able to create an account on PSU's internal job posting site, Handshake, and begin looking for opportunities. Graduate students' skills and experience are often in demand across the University.
