Financial Aid

Master's and Advanced Certificate students who are U.S. citizens or Permanent Residents are eligible to be considered for our school-wide scholarships, student loans and college workstudy. The FAFSA (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/) must be completed and submitted to NYU (institution code 002785) by February 1 for Summer/Fall enrollment and November 1 for Spring enrollment in order to receive the fullest consideration. Do not wait to be accepted for admission. Applying after the deadline will delay the processing of federal aid and student loans and result in loss of consideration for scholarships. Some scholarships require a separate application and have other deadlines so be sure to check the Graduate Admissions website for details. Financial aid award letters are mailed to your permanent address on file beginning mid- to late March for the Summer/Fall and in late November for the Spring.

International applicants are encouraged to visit www.steinhardt.nyu.edu/financial.aid and http://www.nyu.edu/financial.aid/international.php to learn more regarding financial aid options.

Full-time doctoral applicants who submit completed applications by the December 15 deadline, regardless of country of citizenship, will receive consideration for scholarships, fellowships and assistantships.
