NJIT awards financial support to a select number of qualified full-time graduate students in the form of teaching and research graduate assistantships as well as through the Provost Scholarship—available upon admission to graduate students whose admission credentials meet the criteria.

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. NJIT’s Office of University Admissions makes graduate Provost Scholarship decisions, and the individual academic departments make all graduate teaching and research award decisions. (As such, the terms and conditions of the awards vary.)
