The Assistance & Support for Students in Sudden Transition Program is designed to help students who have experienced a sudden, unexpected job loss prepare for a new position through financial initiatives and career coaching. As a not-for-profit organization, Lake Forest Graduate School of Management is dedicated to supporting students so they do not have to interrupt their education while in transition.
ASSIST Scholarship: Students may qualify for up to a 30% scholarship on tuition for twelve months while they are in career transition, whether they choose to pay tuition out of pocket or opt to finance tuition through the use of student loans. Students already receiving a scholarship may also qualify. Tuition will be free of interest and finance fees for the first 60 days after the invoice is issued. Student interested in financial aid must contact the Financial Aid Office at FinAid@lfgsm.edu
It is requested that all students re-apply each term by submitting a new ASSIST application. Application deadlines are listed below.
