Astor Study Abroad Scholarship for NYC Teachers
The Astor Study Abroad Scholarship, made possible by a generous gift from Brooke Astor, supports NYU Steinhardt students who are full-time teachers in the New York City public school system and who are pursuing a Steinhardt study abroad opportunity. Scholarship awards range from $500 to $2500 and are applied in the form of a credit to the student's Bursar bill for the term in which study abroad takes place.
