assistantships, tuition support, or loans. For more information, see the College of Graduate Studies <a href=\"https://funding.graduate.ucf.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">Funding website</a>, which describes the types of financial assistance available at UCF and provides general guidance in planning your graduate finances. The Financial Information section of the Graduate Catalog is another key resource.</p> <p><strong>UCF Student Financial Assistance</strong><br />Millican Hall 120<br />Telephone: 407-823-2827<br />Appointment Line: 407-823-5285<br />Fax: 407-823-5241<br /><a href=\"mailto:finaid@ucf.edu\">finaid@ucf.edu</a><br /><a href=\"http://finaid.ucf.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></p><h1>Fellowship Information</h1><p>Fellowships are awarded based on academic merit to highly qualified students. They are paid to students through the Office of Student Financial Assistance, based on instructions provided by the College of Graduate Studies. Fellowships are given to support a student's graduate study and do not have a work obligation. For more information, see <a href=\"https://graduate.ucf.edu/fellowships/\" target=\"_blank\">UCF Graduate Fellowships</a>, which includes descriptions of university fellowships and what you should do to be considered for a fellowship.</p> <p><strong>Grad Fellowships</strong><br />Telephone: 407-823-0127<br /><a href=\"mailto:gradfellowship@ucf.edu\">gradfellowship@ucf.edu</a><br /><a href=\"https://funding.graduate.ucf.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></p><p><strong>Program Requirements</strong></p> <p>Students must achieve a grade of "B-" (80%) or higher in every course listed under core requirements and in the Capstone Experience course.</p> <p>Students must maintain a program of study and graduate status GPA of 3.0 or higher and can only graduate with a graduate status GPA of 3.0 or higher.</p> <p>The School of Public Administration incorporates service-learning into some courses. Service-learning is a teaching method that provides a means for every student to enhance his or her academic program with experiential learning opportunities. Service-learning provides an opportunity for students to work with community partners by collecting and compiling data and producing quality products that will be beneficial to both students and organizations.</p> <p>Students are expected to be computer literate and have computer internet access upon entry to the program.</p> <p><strong>Shared /Transfer Credit Policy</strong></p> <p>Students interested in pursuing more than one master’s program must be aware of the transfer or shared credit policy in the Policy section of the graduate catalog. Only a maximum of 9 credit hours may be used to fulfill the requirements of 2 master’s degrees. In no case can hours be used to fulfill the requirements of more than 2 degrees.</p> <p><strong>Independent Learning</strong></p> <p>Independent learning is demonstrated throughout the curriculum through the process of inquiry, dialogue, and service-learning. Tangible projects, such as scholarly research, papers, internships, and the capstone experience also contribute to the self-development of MPP students. The research paper and Learning and Professional Development Portfolio in the Capstone Experience focus on creating, reviewing, and analyzing contemporary issues in Public Policy.</p>",
