The following is a brief description of programs available to graduate students.

Assistance Offered through Rutgers Business School: Graduate Programs-Newark and New Brunswick

A listing of individual awards can be found in Rutgers Business School: Graduate Programs-Newark and New Brunswick (RBS) admissions and application booklet.

The RBS Office of Admissions is responsible for the awarding of merit fellowships, merit- and need-based scholarships, and grant funds. These awards are coordinated with the Newark financial aid office to assure compliance with federal and state program regulations by the dean of admissions and Ms. Janice Morrell, who act as liaisons to the Newark financial aid office. For the convenience of New Brunswick students, the dean of admissions is available periodically at the Janice H. Levin Building on the Livingston campus.

Fellowship, scholarship, and grant applicants must complete an application for admission to RBS. If two merit applicants are of equal merit, the award will be granted to the student demonstrating greater computed financial need. The decision of the school is considered final.

Professional Accounting Loan Program. A 7 percent interest rate loan is available to students enrolled in the program in professional accounting. The awards may not exceed the cost of tuition. Application for this program should be made as a loan of last resort only. Interested students must complete the RBS application for financial aid in addition to the FAFSA.

Kenneth D. Taggart Emergency Loan Fund.  The family of Kenneth D. Taggart established this loan program in his memory to affirm Mr. Taggart`s interest in graduate students and their education. The emergency tuition loan is available to full-time students who demonstrate a need. The interest-free short trimester loans may not exceed the cost of the tuition and must be repaid within six months of the award. Application for this program should be made as a loan of last resort only. Interested students must complete the RBS application for financial aid and arrange for a personal interview with the dean of admissions.
