a Speciality in Applied Behavior Analysis



There are 2 types of scholarships specifically designated for Applied Behavior Analysis students. The Adam P. Arias Endowed Scholarship is available through the FSU Panama City Campus Foundation and designated for Applied Behavior Analysis students interested in working with children with autism. The Pilots club has 2 scholarships available for Applied Behavior Analysis students who are interested in working with people with brain injury or autism. Many other scholarships are available through the FSU PC foundation and can be applied for through the office of Financial Aid.

Close to 60% of the master's students in applied behavior analysis receive stipends and tuition waivers. The primary source of funding is through the Florida State University Early Childhood Autism Program (FSU- ECAP) in which graduate students provide behavioral treatment to autistic children and work with their families. Other assistantships are provided through Behavior Management Consultants in local schools. Students design and implement behavioral programs for children who have developmental, emotional, and/or behavior problems. A few teaching assistantships are available for undergraduate one-credit laboratory sections in Approaches to the Study of Behavior and Conditioning and Learning.
