Financing Your Education

Financial aid is available to MA and MS candidates in the International Affairs program. No one should decide against applying to graduate school for financial reasons. A variety of financial assistance is available to qualified students. It is not necessary to have an admission decision to begin the financial aid process. U.S. citizens and permanent residents must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form to establish eligibility for federal and state funding. File the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov and specify The New School code: 002780. International applicants should visit the Financial Aid website.
