National GEM Consortium: The GEM fellowship program invests in a competitive American workforce by supporting high-caliber students looking to pursue Master’s and Doctoral degrees in applied science and engineering, and matches their specific skills to the technical needs of GEM employer members. Through the fellowship, students receive full financial support and a paid internship.
S&K Scholarships: These scholarship funds strive to support a new generation of engineers in an inclusive environment that breaks down barriers. Please note some scholarships can not be combined.
CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS): The purpose of the program is to support the recruitment of new cyber talent within the DoD cyber workforce.

Federal Work-Study Program

Most financial aid award packages include "recommended academic year earnings."

Loan Options

If there is still a difference between the cost of attendance and the total aid received after applying for all other types of aid you are eligible for, you can consider private loans. Some private lenders provide loans for international students.

Federal Loans

Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan: The Federal Direct Unsubsidized loan is available to graduate students in the amount of \$20,500 per academic year. To apply, students must complete a FAFSA each year. Student borrowers who withdraw from the school or enroll less than half-time will be required to complete the Exit Counseling session (online). Borrowers must begin repaying the loan six months after graduating or withdrawing from school.
Graduate Direct PLUS Loan: PLUS loans are federal loans that Graduate students may use to help pay for college expenses. Graduate students whose full cost of attendance is not covered by the William D. Ford Unsubsidized Direct Loan may apply for the Graduate Direct PLUS loan. Students may apply for up to the full cost of attendance minus any financial aid. A FAFSA is required and the Unsubsidized Direct Loan must be accepted before applying for the PLUS loan. The loan is not guaranteed and is subject to credit approval. Repayment can be deferred until graduation or withdrawal from the University.

Private Loans

If federal aid does not cover the full cost of attendance, students can explore private loan options. Some lenders offer loans specifically for international students, providing additional financial support.

Payment Plans and Due Dates

Tuition due dates are set by the Office of the Bursar, and all inquiries regarding payment of tuition should be directed to that office. Payment plans allow you to extend your tuition payments over a period of time, rather than pay all at once.

The Office of the Bursar is the central billing and collection point for New York University.

An undergraduate degree applicant who is required to demonstrate additional ability to pursue the program applied for is assigned conditional status. Within the full-time and part-time classiﬁcations of undergraduate admissions are three status groups: regular, conditional and special/visiting student. A change in status from conditional to regular should be applied for when the conditions of admission are satisﬁed.

Readmission

Graduate Admissions

The Office of Graduate Enrollment Management and Admissions (Wunsch Hall, Brooklyn NY 11201, (646) 997-3182) manages all graduate application requirements and processes for the Tandon School of Engineering and reserves the right to change requirements at any time in consultation with the Associate Dean for Academics.

To be eligible for consideration to any graduate program (M.S. institution, or its international equivalent, which includes a minimum of four years of full-time undergraduate study. We do not accept undergraduate degrees that are equivalent to three years of study. However, Bachelor of Engineering degrees that are completed within the Bologna signatory system in related field of study, and earn 180+ ECTS credits, are eligible for consideration. Find out if your program requires the GRE or GMAT here: GRE Requirements. If the GRE is required for your programs, your official test scores must be on file before your application will be reviewed. To be considered official, the GRE test scores must be submitted electronically through ETS (institution code is 2668; a departmental code is not required). The Office of Graduate Enrollment Management and Admissions reserves the right to request proof of English competency from any applicant.

Conditional status is assigned to a graduate applicant who is required to demonstrate additional ability to pursue the program for which they applied. Conditions may include taking introductory level or undergraduate courses, providing proof of degree completion, or attaining a speciﬁed grade-point average. Conditional admission requirements take precedence over other university policies regarding academic status.

Students may be enrolled as either visiting or non-degree students at the discretion of the department and with the approval of the Office of Graduate Academics. To qualify for visiting student status, applicants must provide a transcript indicating their enrollment in a graduate program at another accredited institution. Applicants must show that they are in good standing with the home institution. A maximum of 6 credits may be taken in one semester and no more than 9 credits may be taken, overall, as a visiting or non-degree student. If a student is subsequently admitted to a degree program at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, the courses taken while registered as a visiting or non-degree student are considered to have been taken in residence. For visiting and non-degree applications, GRE scores are not required and unofficial or official transcripts may be provided by the applicant. For students enrolled in a program at another institution, a letter from the student’s adviser or department chair is sufficient to establish that they are in good standing.

Graduate Scholarships and Fellowships

Graduate scholarships are available for master’s students on a competitive basis. Doctoral students receiving research fellowships are assigned to research that fulfills the thesis requirement of the graduate curriculum in which they matriculate. They receive a living allowance and remitted tuition. Fellows must be registered as full-time students taking each semester nine or more credits, possibly including their thesis. Typically, funding comes from grants and contracts that faculty have secured from government agencies or industry. William D.

Maintaining Scholarship Eligibility

All scholarship recipients receive an award letter that details the minimum number of credits for which a student must register in order to maintain their scholarship. Failure to register for the required number of credits each term will result in a loss of scholarship without opportunity for reinstatement (***barring some exceptions, see Pro-Rating Policy). Yes, if at the time of your final (graduating) term you are enrolled, you will receive a prorated portion of your scholarship. No additional aid beyond the prorated final term will be remitted.

Additional Considerations

GPA Review

At the end of your first term, your GPA is your CGPA, and yes, it will be reviewed every term.

Internship and Course Load

I would like to begin an internship in the spring term and will not be enrolled in a full-time course load.

Summer Courses

As long as you enroll in 4.5 credits as a graduate student, you are considered a part-time student and eligible for a federal loan.
