  School of Criminal Justice 2021-2023 Master of Arts Program Awards and Scholarships  

Awards and Scholarships
There are a number of scholarship opportunities for incoming students, contingent on availability of funding. The school reserves the right not to make an award.

Incoming Students

Master's Promise Scholarship
This scholarship provides partial tuition and/or stipend support. All newly admitted students are automatically considered for this award on the basis of merit and/or need.
 
Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF)
New Jersey residents who are full-time students and who can demonstrate backgrounds of financial and academic hardship are eligible for EOF grant ranging from $200 to $2,850. Students who received EOF grants as undergraduates are presumed eligible if they fall below the maximum income parameters required for all recipients of this state grant. Graduate students who did not receive EOF grants as undergraduates, but feel that they come from backgrounds of financial hardship and wish to be considered, must write to the Financial Aid Office for consideration. The grants are renewable for the duration of a student`s degree work. Students must demonstrate continued eligibility and provide evidence of satisfactory academic progress. In addition, students must complete the FAFSA form to be considered.
 
New Jersey State Grant
Full-time graduate students, who are classified as New Jersey residents for tuition purposes and who demonstrate financial need, are eligible to receive a New Jersey State Grant. Amounts vary from $200 to $2,650 per year. The money is dependent upon funds being available, and grants are renewable. EOF grant recipients are not eligible.
 
Rutgers Eagleton Fellowship Program
The Eagleton Institute of Politics offers interdisciplinary fellowships that provide select Rutgers graduate students the opportunity to further their understanding of government, public affairs, and the practice of politics, and connect the fellowship experience to their chosen fields of study. Eagleton fellowships provide varying stipends; some offer tuition remission. The fellowship application is available online in late January at http://www.eagleton.rutgers.edu/students/fellowshipapplication.php.
