Graduate Study Abroad Scholarships

Global Need-Based Scholarship

The Office of Global Affairs offers competitive, need-based scholarships for Steinhardt January, Spring Break, and Summer short-term graduate study abroad programs. Awards range from $500 to $2000 and are applied as a credit to the student's Bursar bill for the term in which study abroad takes place.

Eligibility

The Global Need-Based Scholarship application is open to all graduate, undergraduate, and visiting students applying to a graduate-level Steinhardt Global course. The scholarship is open to US citizens, permanent residents, and international students.

Participants are not eligible 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

How To Apply

Once you have submitted your application to study abroad, you may complete the Global Need-Based Scholarship Application:

• Log into your application status portal (current students | visiting students) and click on the "Global Affairs Study Abroad" application link at the bottom of the page
• Click on the "Need-Based Scholarship Application" tab, then the "Apply Now" button
• Complete the application and upload the following documents:
  • Statement of financial need: An essay of approximately 250 words that describes your current financial circumstances and explains the gap between your resources and the cost of studying abroad
  • Financial documentation: A copy of your FAFSA Student Aid Report (for current students who are U.S. citizens) or financial documentation that demonstrates your financial need (for all other participants, including international students and non-student applicants). This may include documentation of your expenses and/or income, loans, savings, etc. Personal attestations will not be accepted

Applicants should apply for this scholarship concurrently with their study abroad application so that the materials can be reviewed together. Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible, as funds are limited.

Students who submit a need-based scholarship application concurrently with their program application will receive notification of their scholarship status within two days of receipt of their program application status.
