Yes, the program has limited fellowship and scholarship resources.  Around 20% of the incoming class will receive merit-based aid. We assess all applications for merit-based scholarships. Our fellowships do require a separate essay in the application. Learn more on our financial aid page.

Interviews are only requested for those who are fellowship finalists, as well as EMPA and dual-degree candidates, at the request of the review committee.

You must complete 45 credits. Most full-time students take 12 credits per semester. Most part-time students take 6 credits per semester. You can also take January term and summer term courses. 
 

If you are pursuing full-time enrollment in the MUP or MPA programs, then you are eligible. You will be considered if you submit the additional fellowship essay (in "Financial Aid" section of application) along with your full application by the fellowship deadline.

The mission of the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service is to educate leaders in the field of public service. During the admissions review process we look to identify individuals we believe will make contributions to the leadership of domestic and international nonprofit, social policy, health, urban planning and public organizations.

You can learn more about tuition, other fees, and estimated cost of attendance here.
 

The admissions review at NYU Wagner is conducted on a modified rolling basis. Each deadline has a specific notification date. Once an application is completed, it will be forwarded to the Admissions Committee for review. An application is considered complete and ready for review when all required materials are received in the admissions office. 

Students may have the opportunity to work with faculty through research projects or as a graduate assistant. Generally, if such a position is needed, the faculty member will conduct a search for qualified students, or they will post a position through the Office of Career Services.

You will receive information about any award you receive when we send out decision letters in March. These scholarships are the only awards Wagner coordinates and provides to students. 

NYU encourages you to research graduate student scholarship opportunities in your local community, as that is sometimes a good source of additional funding.
