Financial Aid

The Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and the Office of Financial Aid at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, are committed to assisting students with funds to help defray educational expenses. Since a student's financial resources often determine whether or not he or she attends college, every effort is made to assist each student in finding alternative resources to finance an education.

The majority of graduate students at the university, like most graduate students in the United States, receive some measure of financial aid. The amount of support each student receives depends in part, of course, upon the availability of funds. The availability of support is often dependent upon the specific graduate program and degree status. Support ranges from grants covering tuition charges to awards sufficient to pay all educational and living expenses. The sources of support include university funds, federal and state government funds, corporate and individual bequests to the university, and grants from educational and scientific foundations.

Limited funds are available from scholarships, fellowships, assistantships, grants, low-interest loans, and part-time employment to students at the school. To apply for grants, loans, and employment, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is available at https://studentaid.gov/ and from most college and university financial aid offices. At Rutgers, contact the Office of Financial Aid, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey https://scarlethub.rutgers.edu/financial-services/ .

 Information about merit-based scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships at the Bloustein School can be found here: https://bloustein.rutgers.edu/graduate/prospective/funding-and-support-for-prospective-graduate-students/ . The awarding of these awards are handled by the school with determinations from individual academic programs. In all cases, applicants are considered for all forms of aid for which they are eligible.
