NYU Stern Graduate Fellowships

Selection for merit-based scholarships at NYU Stern is highly competitive and is based on an overall review of the applicant's formal application for admission. No separate scholarship application is required for most merit-based awards. Criteria include prior academic achievement, professional accomplishments, leadership potential, essays, and overall fit with the program. Scholarship decisions are made at the time of admission and are considered final.

Renewal criteria for scholarships vary depending on the specific award. Generally, students must maintain full-time enrollment (at least 12 credits per semester) and satisfactory academic progress toward their degree requirements. Financial aid awards, including some NYU scholarships, may require annual reapplication and continued demonstration of financial need and good academic standing. Specific conditions for renewal will be detailed in the official admission and scholarship offer letter.
