Other Types of Financial Aid

Cooperative Education (Co-op)


Cooperative Education (Co-op) programs place you in a job related to your degree program, for which you earn wages while you continue to attend regular classes. This program is open to any student, regardless of financial need.

Employer Tuition Remission

Many employers pay all or part of tuition costs for employees, and, in some cases, employees' spouses.

If you now hold a full- or part-time job, check with your employer's human resources office. As most employer programs are reimbursement plans, you are responsible for payment to the University of your tuition and fees as indicated on your billing statements.

If the student qualifies for Temple University tuition remission, either as a University employee dependent or as a University employee, Student Financial Services must be notified so that the benefit amount can be taken into account when calculating an offer of aid. Tuition remission eligibility may result in a revision of previously offered financial aid.

Market share


The financial services industry constitutes the largest group of companies in the world in terms of earnings and equity market cap. However it is not the largest category in terms of revenue or number of employees.

It is also a slow growing and extremely fragmented industry, with the largest company (Citigroup), only having a 3 % US market share.

In contrast, the largest home improvement store in the US, Home Depot, has a 30 % market share, and the largest coffee house Starbucks has a 32 % market share, etc.

Despite this fragmentation, financial service companies as a group are by far the most profitable in the world, and if any grew to the same market share percentages as any other retail industry, the potential profit would be brobdingnagian.
