Just out of curiosity, are you looking for programs that pay you a stipend? Or programs that offer tuition remission? Or both?

I also don't know of any masters programs in clinical psych that do this, particularly because a masters of clinical psychology is not typically a terminal degree. I can think of some terminal masters programs in MFT, for example, that do offer some funding or support options for students.

These programs are rare, but do exist (e.g., wake forest). I am looking for tuition waiver and stipend.

The Penn State system has some competitive awards that include MA tuition waivers and a small stipend each semester (http://www.gradschool.psu.edu/graduate-funding/fellowships/programs/minority/).

With the caveat that this is based on info over 5 years ago, my understanding is an incoming MA student in the Applied Clinical Psych program at the Harrisburg campus is offered one each year.
 
There are some clinical psych programs out there (at least, there were a few years ago- see PM for the couple I'm aware of) that offer a stipend plus full tuition waiver. I do not believe that wake forest is a 'clinical' masters despite being tailored towards getting folks into clinical PhD programs. At least, it wasn't years back.

I don't think wake forest actually offers a masters in clinical psychology?

I'm curious to see others responses, but I can't think of any terminal masters programs in clinical psychology that offer fully funded positions to all incoming students. The clinical psych master programs I'm familiar with often charge tuition to most students and may have some funding available for a select students on an individual scholarship basis. Sometimes this is available through the graduate school rather than the individual department. So I was just trying to get a sense of what you were interested in finding.

I take it back! Just did a quick google search and found a funded program at Ball State!

Thank you all for your replies.
