NYU Financial Aid
Admitted master's degree students* are automatically considered for Tisch scholarships if they responded "yes" to the question on the application asking if they would like to be considered for financial aid; there is no separate form or application you need to complete to be considered for scholarships. You'll be notified of your scholarship award at the same time or shortly after receiving your offer of admission. Scholarship awards are discretionary funds issued directly by the academic department on the basis of both application merit and demonstrated financial need. These are tuition-only awards which can range from partial to full tuition remission, but full tuition awards are rare.
Please expand the sections below that are relevant to your applicant status to learn more about financial aid options available to you. You can review the tuition, fees, and expenses for your program on this page.
*Please note that this does not apply to our MA Media Producing or MPS Virtual Production programs. NYU scholarships are not available for these two programs, and students are responsible for funding their education through their own finances and by securing outside aid.
In addition to Tisch scholarships awarded by the department, U.S. Citizens and eligible non-citizens may be considered for federal financial aid. Applicants must complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form is available at on the FAFSA website. Please submit as soon as possible and indicate that your data is to be sent to New York University, code number 002785.
International students are not eligible for federal financial aid.
International students are eligible for Tisch scholarships awarded directly by the department, but are not eligible for U.S. federal financial aid. We encourage international students to supplement any scholarship they may receive from Tisch with support from their governments, foundations, or private agencies.
Private educational loans are also possible to help international students fund their NYU education. There is more information about private loans on our website. Most lenders will require a U.S. cosigner.
The Corrigan Fellowship Program provides multi-year full funding support to TSOA doctoral students. The minimum Corrigan doctoral support package includes:
1. A four- or five-year award term.
2. A scholarship for full tuition and registration and services fees for courses required for the degree.
3. Full coverage of the premiums for mandatory NYU student health insurance for an individual under the NYU comprehensive plan.
4. A nine-month academic-year stipend for living expenses.
5. A one-time Dean’s Supplementary Fellowship Grant of $1,000 that may be used at the student’s discretion.
6. A one-time Housing Subsidy Grant of $2,000.
More information about the Corrigan Fellowship by year is available in the PhD Handbook.
NYU is a proud participant in the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program, which provides scholarship assistance from the University and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Find out more about the program.
Outside scholarships are an excellent way to help reduce your need to work and/or borrow student loans.
