    Financial Aid at The New School

    Most students need some help in planning for funding their education. The Office of Financial Aid assists students and their families with developing a plan to cover the billable and non-billable costs of attending college.

    There are several types of financial aid that you may be eligible for, which include free aid like grants and scholarships, earned aid such as Federal Work-Study, and borrowed aid like student loans, which must be paid back. For information on eligibility and instructions for applying, please see Apply for Aid and navigate to the section that applies to you. If you would like to speak with a financial aid counselor, please visit our office or contact us by phone or email.
