FINANCIAL AID

Graduate Fellowships and assistantships are awarded
by the Graduate School and the Center. MacCracken Fellowships are multi-year fellowships that include full tuition and a stipend for two years. Graduate Assistantships are awarded for one year and may be renewed for a second year; they also include tuition and a stipend. Both types of financial aid are awarded competitively on the basis of academic merit. The application for both types of aid is the application for admission to GSAS.

Information about fellowships may be obtained from the GSAS wesite at http://gsas.nyu.edu/page/grad.financialaid.html

FLAS FELLOWSHIPS

Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships offering full-time tuition and a stipend for living expenses are awarded on a competitive basis to full-time students at NYU. The Hagop Kevorkian Center administers the FLAS fellowship program under its authorization as a Title VI Middle East National Resource Center by the U. S. Department of Education.

To be eligible for FLAS, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and must plan to enroll full-time in a degree program that will include study either of Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Turkish or Urdu. Students in the MA Program in Near Eastern Studies and all joint programs are eligible to apply, as are students in a number of departments in the Graduate School of Arts and Science and in graduate programs at other schools at NYU.

Competitive priorities for Academic Year and Summer FLAS include 1) applicants who will achieve Advanced level proficiency before graduation and 2) master’s level applicants who plan to pursue careers in public service.

Academic Year FLAS Fellowships may be awarded to both incoming and continuing students. Unlike most other financial aid at GSAS, application for FLAS is separate from the admissions application.

Applications are due in January for study beginning the following fall; application forms are available in November.

Summer FLAS fellowships are available to students currently enrolled at NYU to attend selected intensive language programs in the US and abroad. Applications for summer FLAS are also available in November and are due in January, for study in the following summer term.

NYU doctoral students who have completed all coursework may apply for Research Abroad fellowships that cover the fall and spring semesters. The awards support extended research projects in the Middle East that incorporate language acquisition equivalent to one year of intensive study. The fellowship covers maintenance of matriculation and a stipend to cover living expenses. Applications are due in January for study beginning the following fall; application forms are available in November.
