Tuition fees for Parsons Paris are different from those of Parsons in NYC. As a New School student, you are automatically considered for merit scholarship, and U.S. students and permanent U.S. residents may also qualify for U.S.-based federal aid and need-based scholarships. Learn more about undergraduate and graduate tuition costs and fees on the Tuition and Fees page.

As a U.S. citizen or a permanent U.S. resident, you qualify for financial aid. As a U.S. or international student, you may qualify for scholarships through The New School. All new students who have submitted a tuition deposit should have already completed the financial aid process. If you have not yet applied for aid, visit the Office of Financial Aid for information and instructions. Forms do not need to be completed for merit scholarships.
