If you are a degree-seeking undergraduate international student
interested in grants or scholarships from The New School you must
complete an Undergraduate International Student Scholarship Application.
Priority deadlines are April 15 for the upcoming Fall semester and
November 2 for the Spring semester. You can still apply after these
deadlines and applications will be considered as available funding
permits.

Continuing international undergraduate students who previously
completed an International Undergraduate Student Financial Aid
Application do not need to re-file.

Our staff is available to explore funding options with you.

International students attending Mannes College The New School for Music and The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music are not required to fill out this form. Scholarship eligibility is determined without the use of this application.

The following is an overview of financial aid resources and information for graduate international students at The New School. Please feel free to contact Student Financial Services with any additional questions or issues regarding your financial aid eligibility. Our staff is available to explore funding options with you.

Departmental Scholarship and Assistantship Consideration

The New School offers scholarships to many of our graduate international students. Most graduate students will be considered for scholarship support at the same time they are being considered for admission into their program. We will automatically notify you of an award on your acceptance letter or through a separate financial aid award letter soon after you are admitted to the school. Please note: New School for Social Research students should also make sure to apply with their academic department at the time of applying for admission.

Every academic department that offers assistantships determines them differently. In addition, not every academic department has assistantship opportunities available. Assistantship awards are made to students after they start the program and paid directly to the student. If you have been selected for one, you are required to notify financial aid in writing. Speak with your academic department about the assistantship application process.

Where else should I be looking?

We encourage all students to pursue additional scholarships from sources outside the university. The following are among the most often used Web resources for international student financing:

• The Institute for International Education www.iie.org
• NAFSA: Association of International Educators www.nafsa.org

In addition, we recommend looking into resources before leaving home.
Relevant organizations and government agencies in your home country may
be able to provide information on other funding options.

Student Loans for International Students

Many lenders are willing to make private student loans to international students, but in most cases they require a credit-eligible U.S. citizen or permanent resident to co-sign the loan with you. You should research possible lenders online.
