Madrid Administrative Support Scholarship
Each semester the University makes available a limited number of Administrative Support Scholarship positions. Students help in departments throughout the University for up to ten hours/week in exchange for a reduction in their tuition fees (roughly 10-15%). No cash payments are made. Instead, the amount is credited toward the amount due on the tuition fees for the semester.
University Administrative Support Scholarship opportunities include helping as monitors in computer labs, assistants in the library, bookstore, finance department, admissions office, and student life. Job placement priority is given to permanent or full-year visiting students.
