Astor Study Abroad Scholarship for NYC Teachers
The Astor Study Abroad Scholarship, made possible by a generous gift from Brooke Astor, supports NYU students who are full-time teachers in the New York City public school system and who are pursuing study abroad opportunities. Awards range from $500 to $2500 and are applied as a credit to the student's Bursar bill for the term in which study abroad takes place.
Eligibility
To be eligible, participants must:
- Be currently matriculated as a student in an NYU graduate degree program
- Be employed as a full-time teacher in a New York City public or charter school (verification of employment is required at the time of application)
- Be accepted to an NYU Steinhardt short-term graduate study abroad program
Participants are ineligible if they:
- Are enrolling as a non-credit participant
- Receive tuition remission from NYU or their home university (this includes employees, spouses, and dependents)
- Received any graduate-level fully-funded fellowship or scholarship from NYU (including Steinhardt Fellows, Founders Fellows, and Research Assistants) during the current academic year. Recipients of externally funded (non-NYU) fellowships and scholarships are eligible
