NYU Stern Graduate Financial Aid | Teaching & Graduate Fellowships

Stern offers teaching fellowship (TF) and graduate fellowship (GF) positions to qualified Graduate Stern students. These fellowship positions provide students with an opportunity to add value to the school and to effect change. Moreover, they enable the participant to assist other students attending Stern in both the graduate and undergraduate programs. In order to participate, students must have:

• Completed at least 9 credits at Stern
• Be in good academic standing (GPA at least 3.0)
• Be enrolled in the semester of appointment

There are many positions, and a selection process by administrators and faculty members may be necessary. For a comprehensive listing of positions as well as detailed information, please visit the Student Jobs website.

International students: F-1 visa holders may work as Teaching or Graduate Fellows, however, students with an H-1B visa may not work in these positions.

PLEASE NOTE: You will receive tuition remission unless: (1) you have 100% of your tuition covered by corporate sponsorship or scholarship, (2) you have exceeded the amount of tuition remission allowed, (3) you are hired for a tutor position, and/or (4) you are hired for a summer position and are not enrolled in summer classes. These 4 exceptions will be paid through payroll in Human Resources, and compensation will be subject to federal and state tax withholding.

Each fellowship provides a partial tuition credit for the semester that you are employed and is credited directly to your tuition account. The tuition credit received from fellowship positions is considered financial aid and, most likely, will affect your loan package.

If you receive a position and have loans up to the full cost of attendance, we will apply the tuition credit directly to your tuition payment and reduce your loans by that amount (i.e. you will not receive a refund check for the fellowship, instead a check for the amount of your fellowship will go directly to the lender to pay down your loan for that semester).
