Tuition and Financial Aid
Financing Your Education
Financial aid is available to MFA candidates. No one should decide against applying for admission to the Creative Writing program for financial reasons. A variety of financial assistance is available to qualified students. It is not necessary to receive your admission decision before beginning 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. You may file the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The New School code is 002780. International applicants should visit Financial Aid for International Students.
