• Financial Aid and Funding Opportunities

    • The Office of Academic Affairs administers institutional scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships at The New School for Social Research and also advises students seeking external funding.

      The Provost's Office coordinates the Teaching Fellowship program and teaching assistantships for undergraduate courses and offers support to students seeking external funding, specifically dissertation research grants.

      The Office of Financial Aid offers a comprehensive program of financial services for all matriculated students, including institutional scholarship support to eligible students on the basis of merit and need and information and assistance with U.S. government loan programs and work-study.

      The school awards scholarships on an annual basis. The PhD fellowship and special scholarships application deadline for new students is December 15. The MA fellowship and special scholarships application deadline for new students is January 7; the scholarship application deadline for continuing students is March 1. More than 90 percent of new full-time master’s degree students receive merit scholarships, averaging 40 percent of the cost of tuition. Learn more about institutional funding.
