The Indiana University Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs and Alma College are proud to announce a new partnership that gives Alma graduates an opportunity to pursue a graduate education with one of the nation’s premier schools of public affairs.
Through the newly formed Alma + O’Neill Fellowship, qualified Alma College graduates are eligible to receive an application fee waiver, with admitted students awarded a 25 percent tuition reduction toward their program of choice.
“The master’s programs at the O’Neill School equip students with not only the education but also the real-world experience to lead change and make a real difference,” said O’Neill School Dean Siân Mooney. “To create an opportunity for more students to earn a graduate degree here only builds upon O’Neill’s goal to lead for the greater good.”

We look forward to this collaboration and in partnering together to make a difference in the lives of students.”
