Financial Aid
While a graduate business degree affords students the opportunity for significant personal growth and career advancement, obtaining that degree requires a considerable investment of resources. Many students will need assistance in meeting the costs of business school.

Scholarships and Fellowships
The Stern School of Business automatically considers all students admitted to the Full-time Program for merit-based scholarships ranging from partial to full tuition. The selection process is highly competitive. The Admissions Committee makes awards based solely on merit. There is no separate application process for merit-based scholarships. Stern and private donors provide the funds for these awards, and individual awards vary. All second-year students are also considered for donor awards.
Graduate Fellowships and Teaching Fellowships
The Stern School of Business offers graduate fellowships and teaching fellowships to qualified M.B.A. students who have completed at least 9 credits at Stern as M.B.A. students, are enrolled in the semester of appointment, have an average GPA of at least 3.0, and have previously taken the course or its equivalent (for teaching fellowships only). These positions are limited in number and competitive. A full fellowship position involves 10 hours of work per week for one full term or 15 weeks and provides partial tuition credit, applied directly to the student’s tuition during the semester in which the student is employed. Students who wish to serve as graduate or teaching fellows are responsible for securing these positions by contacting the departments that have approved positions. (Note: Graduate and teaching fellows must pay any portion of tuition and fees not covered by tuition remission by the payment deadline, and their loan eligibility may be affected.)

Campus Housing Resident Assistantships
Resident Life Assistants (RLAs) live in dormitories and are responsible for organizing, implementing, and evaluating social and educational activities. Assistants also serve as peer counselors and sources of information for dormitory residents. For additional information, please refer to the Office of Residential Life and Housing Services website.
Student Loans
Student loans are the primary source of assistance for most students. New York University participates in the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan Program and the Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan program. In addition, private educational loans are available to assist with school expenses. Part-time students are eligible to apply for loans and must enroll in at least 4.5 credits (half-time) per semester to be eligible.
Direct Unsubsidized Loan Program.
This is a long-term federal loan with an interest rate updated annually based on the 10-year Treasury bond yield plus 3.60%. An origination fee is reassessed each year and deducted at disbursement. The funds are issued by the U.S. Federal Government as supplied by the U.S. Treasury. Eligibility is not based on financial need and interest accrues while in school and during the deferment period. Interest begins accruing as soon as the loan funds are disbursed. Students may choose to have the accrued interest capitalized (added to the principal balance) or make periodic payments while in school. The total Federal Unsubsidized Student Loan limit is $10, 250 per semester. The standard repayment period is 10 years.
Direct Graduate PLUS Loan Program.
Most students may find it necessary to borrow through the Direct Graduate PLUS Loan program to meet the full cost of attendance. Note that Graduate PLUS Loan approval is contingent upon a credit check. One may also elect to use a creditworthy cosigner. This is a long-term federal loan with an interest rate updated annually based on the 10-year Treasury bond yield plus 4.60%. An origination fee is reassessed each year and deducted at disbursement. The standard repayment period is 10 years.
Private Educational Loans.
Students may choose to borrow through private loan programs to meet their educational expenses. Note that all programs require applicants to have a good credit history and may require a creditworthy cosigner.
International students may borrow private educational loans with a U.S. citizen cosigner. International student loans, which do not require U.S. citizen cosigners, may also be available. Please check the website for current information on the availability of these loans.
