Automated Voice: Graduate school is a 
significant investment of time and money.
This video will help you understand the 
different types of financial aid available
to help you make a NYU Steinhardt 
graduate education a reality.
If you’re a U.S. citizen or permanent 
resident, your first step is
to complete the Free Application 
for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA,
to be considered for scholarships, 
student loans, and work-study.
It can be found at fafsa.ed.gov. 
You’ll do this around the same time
as your application for 
admission to NYU Steinhardt.
The deadline to submit is February 1, 
for Fall or Summer enrollment,
or October 1, for Spring enrollment. By 
completing the FAFSA, you will help us
determine your eligibility for school-
based scholarships and student loans.
School-based scholarships partially cover your 
tuition and are based on financial need and merit.
We also offer competitive scholarships 
targeted to certain groups, such as
Returned Peace Corps Volunteers 
and Americorps alumni.
These competitive scholarships require an 
additional application beyond the FAFSA.
You can learn more about them, as well as 
external, non-NYU scholarship opportunities,
at steinhardt.nyu.edu/financialaid.
A financial aid package at NYU may 
include different types of loans, such as
the Federal Direct Unsubsidized loan 
and the Graduate PLUS loan.
A variety of additional private loans are also 
available from individual lending institutions.
Most NYU financial aid for master's degree 
and advanced certificate students
is available only to US citizens and 
permanent residents, including students
from Puerto Rico and other US territories, 
who are studying full time.
However, some specific school scholarships 
are open to citizens of Canada and Mexico.
Check out our financial aid page 
for the applications and deadlines.
Citizens of other countries may be eligible for
loan programs and non-NYU sources of funding.
If you’re an international student, we 
encourage you to explore financial aid
opportunities in your home country, 
non-NYU scholarships, and private loans.
Graduate students may be able to pursue 
paid student employment at the university.
Job opportunities can be explored through the NYU 
Wasserman Center for Career Development.
If you are a full-time PhD applicant
 and submit your application on time,
you’ll receive consideration for 
the Steinhardt Fellows Program,
our full funding and mentoring package,  
or a research assistantship
regardless of your 
country of citizenship.
Don't let the cost of a graduate education 
dissuade you from considering NYU Steinhardt.
With the help of financial aid, attending 
NYU may be within your reach.
