NJIT awards financial support to a select number of qualified full-time (or "certified full-time") graduate students in various types, including the Master's Fellows Scholarship—available upon admission to graduate students whose admission credentials meet the criteria. (NJIT’s Office of University Admissions makes the Master's Fellows Scholarship decisions.)

Various types of financial support available for NJIT graduate students can be found on the Office of Graduate Studies website. Keep in mind, though, that all graduate teaching and research award decisions are made by the individual academic departments and not the Office of Graduate Studies. (As such, the terms and conditions of the awards vary.)

Financial support is generally reserved for those students pursuing a doctoral degree. Initial financial support for international master’s degree students at NJIT is extremely limited, and international students in master’s programs can qualify for financial support only after completing one semester of study at NJIT.

You are automatically considered for graduate financial support when you apply for graduate admission. If you would like to apply for additional funding in the form of an education loan, you must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

It is important to note that the available forms of graduate support differ from the  financial aid described elsewhere on this website, which is geared toward undergraduate students and awarded through the office of Student Financial Aid Services.
