FAQs for NYU Stern Graduate Fellowships

For most merit-based scholarships and fellowships at NYU Stern, a separate application is not required. All admitted applicants, both domestic and international, are automatically considered for these awards based on the strength of their graduate program admission application.
Q.What does a typical NYU Stern scholarship cover?
NYU Stern scholarships can vary from partial tuition awards (e.g., $20,000 - $40,000 USD) to full tuition and mandatory fees. Highly competitive fellowships, like the William R. Berkley Scholarship, may also include stipends for housing and other living expenses.
Q.Are there specific scholarships for international students?
Many NYU Stern merit-based scholarships are open to all applicants, including international students. Eligibility is primarily based on merit as demonstrated in your admission application. However, some fellowships like the Consortium Fellowship are specifically for U.S. citizens or permanent residents from underrepresented groups.
Q.Can I combine a merit-based scholarship with other financial aid?
Generally, scholarships are a form of financial aid that do not need to be repaid. You may be able to supplement your scholarship with student loans (federal for U.S. citizens/permanent residents, or private for all eligible students) to cover the remaining cost of attendance. It's best to consult with the NYU Stern Graduate Financial Aid Office for personalized advice.
