Types of Financial Aid
Not only is NJIT affordable, but every year we administer $48 million in various types of undergraduate financial aid, including scholarships (some designed especially for transfer students), grants, loans, and work-study.

Adult learner? Considering coming back to school to obtain a graduate certificate or an undergraduate certificate through our Continued Professional Education division? Or maybe you are looking to provide non-credit training for your company in order to keep pace with today’s industry or to enhance your own  professional skills. Whatever your goal, you can accomplish it on campus, online, or through our Weekend University program, and financial assistance may be available to help you achieve it.

Graduate student? Various types of financial support are available for NJIT graduate students, and you can find eligibility requirements and contact information on the Graduate Financial Support Contacts page.

Going overseas? Certain financial aid programs are available if you are participating in a study-abroad program that has been approved for credit by the university. In some cases, you may also receive assistance from certain student aid programs while studying at an institution of higher education other than NJIT, if a consortium or contractual agreement can be established.

Coming from overseas? We offer aid for international students as well. And if you are planning to attend a winter or a summer session, check out how we can assist you.

Not matriculated? Most financial aid is available only to matriculated students—that is, those who have been accepted into and are enrolled in a degree-granting program. In addition to certain private loans, non-matriculated students may be eligible for  two federal tax credits.
