Funding for PSM Programs

As the demand for science-trained business professionals continues to grow, there will be an increasing need for Professional Science Master's Degree Programs.

To help meet this demand, we are providing the NASH community with a comprehensive directory of funding opportunities for new and existing PSMs. The funding opportunities are listed in a PDF file prepared by Council of Graduate Schools Dean in Residence Sally K. Francis. This file will be updated periodically.

We welcome your feedback on the funding opportunities directory.

Sheila Tobias

came upon the idea of the “professional science master’s” in a study of a set of PhD graduates in the physical sciences who by 1994 had given up hope of an academic research career. From their responses to a questionnaire emerged the idea of a new degree based on a “science-plus-business” curriculum.* Working with the Sloan Foundation from 1999-2006, she functioned as a field organizer and outreach coordinator of the national PSM movement and remains a consultant to Sloan and the National PSM Association, especially as regards state-wide, campus-wide and system-wide adoptions of the degree.
