Financial Aid
We offer financial aid to help fund your graduate studies. Financial aid packages take into consideration financial need and academic merit. Your financial aid package will include federal loans.
In order to apply for Federal Student Aid with NYU, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Our school code is 002785. The FAFSA must be completed each academic year the student is enrolled.
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan: Most graduate students are potentially eligible to receive up to $20,500 per academic year.
Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan: This credit-based loan is a supplement to the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan. The maximum loan amount is the student’s cost of attendance minus any other financial aid received.
Counseling@NYU applicants may be considered for scholarships, based upon their application for admission. No separate application for scholarships is necessary. These scholarships will be awarded to a select number of aspiring school and mental health counselors committed to making a difference in their community.
