Fellowships and Funding

Eligibility for Institutional Scholarship Support

Institutional financial aid is allocated based on academic performance and financial need. More than 85 percent of new full-time master’s degree students receive merit scholarships averaging 40 percent of tuition.

Institutional merit and scholarship funds are guaranteed for the duration of degree programs. Only degree candidates are eligible for institutional scholarships. The New School seldom provides institutional awards to cover doctoral candidacy fees. Students will be able to keep their scholarships for any enrollment status in their degree program (full-time, half-time, less than half-time, etc.). The scholarship will be prorated based on attendance below full-time.
