While the cost of education at Rutgers compares favorably with other institutions of higher education, many graduate students at the university receive some financial aid. The amount of support students receive depends upon their graduate program and degree status.
Funds are available from university, governmental, corporate, and private sources.
You may apply for financial aid when you apply for admission by completing pertinent questions on the application form. A separate form for financial aid is not required. All applicants may be considered for university-based fellowships, scholarships, and assistantships when they apply for admission as part of the application process. Doctoral applicants may qualify for Rutgers Excellence Fellowship Awards, teaching and research assistantships, and a number of school-specific fellowships and scholarships. Applications are due from students within the United States by March 1 and by February 1 from students outside of the country, unless the program specifies an earlier application or financial aid date.
