Financial Aid for International Undergraduate Students

At the present time, students enrolled in Eugene Lang College, Parsons, or The New School for Public Engagement who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents and who wish to apply for grants or scholarships from The New School must submit the Undergraduate International Student Scholarship Application (see the link on this page opposite). International students enrolled in Mannes College The New School for Music or The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music should not submit this form, since neither division uses it to determine financial aid.

Note: The Undergraduate International Student Scholarship Application should be used only by students in the Parsons AAS and The New School for Public Engagement Undergraduate Programs. Parsons BFA, BA, and BS programs and Eugene Lang College will no longeruse this form in awarding grants and scholarships.

The priority filing deadline for the Undergraduate International Student Scholarship Application is 30 days after you have received an offerof admission. You can still apply after the deadline,and your application will be considered if funds are still available. All scholarship offers are final and may not be appealed.

Continuing international undergraduates who previously filed the Undergraduate International Scholarship Application do not have to refile.

Financial Aid for International Graduate Students

Departmental Scholarships and Assistantships
Most graduate students are considered for scholarship support by the university at the same time they are being considered for admission. If you are applying to The New School for Social Research, be sure to apply to the academic department for financial assistance at the same time you apply for admission. When you are admitted to a graduate program, you will receive notification of any scholarship award in your acceptance letter or shortly after in a separate financial aid award letter.

Not every academic department offers assistantships, but those that do have different methods to determine who receives them. Assistantship awards are made you start your program and are paid to you directly as compensation for services. If you have been selected for one, you are required to notify Student Financial Services in writing. Speak with your academic department about the assistantship application process.

All students are encouraged to pursue additional scholarship sources outside The New School. The following are among the most popular Web resources for financial assistance for international students:
