Study Abroad Scholarships and Financial Aid
Undergraduate Study Abroad Scholarships through NYU
Studying abroad doesn't necessarily cost more than a semester in New York. The cost of tuition remains the same, while costs associated with housing and meals is generally equivalent to that in New York, and may even cost less in some cases. As an NYU student all your current aid applies to your semester or year abroad at an NYU study abroad site. If you receive aid, you are encouraged to submit a the Financial Aid Appeal form online in order to have your current financial aid package re-evaluated based on the estimated expenses of your study abroad program.

Graduate Scholarships
There are now a limited number of need-based scholarships available for accepted applicants to Steinhardt study abroad programs. The scholarships we have available are partial scholarships generally ranging from $1000-$2000. The process is competitive and need-based.
To be eligible for the scholarships you must be:
- A graduate student
- Enrolled in a Steinhardt degree program
- Taking 6 or more credits during the summer session
- Display financial need
You will NOT be eligible for the scholarship if you already receive summer tuition remission from NYU (e.g. employees, spouses), if you are a funded Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant, Graduate Assistant, or Founders Fellow, or if you are registered as a non-matriculated (special) student. Undergraduates are unfortunately not eligible and neither are international students. To receive consideration, please complete the form below and submit it along with:
- A copy of your most recent resume
- A statement of 300 words or less that includes: Why you are interested in the Study Abroad Program. How the program relates to your academic and professional career. A detailed explanation of your financial need
