Financial Aid
The School of Communication and Information (SC&I) does not admit students directly to Rutgers.  Students enter through one of the four-year schools of the university and are eligible for all financial aid from the university and from their four-year school.  Rutgers–New Brunswick financial aid information may be found at http://nb.rutgers.edu/admissions-aid/financial-aid.

Federal work-study employment may be offered as a self-help portion of a financial aid award. Application for this program is made by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. On-campus jobs are available in many areas. Selection for a particular job is based on skills, job availability, university needs, and student preference. The assigned employment opportunity is based on an expectation that the student will work between five and 15 hours weekly throughout the fall and spring academic semesters; in the case of summer assignments, the expectation is that the student will work between 20 and 35 hours per week. Off-campus employment, including paid community service positions and reading tutorial jobs in elementary schools, also are available. No job assignments are made until all paperwork required to accept the aid is complete.

SC&I offers a limited number of scholarships to high-achieving Rutgers students who are declared majors in the school, and a very limited number of prizes. Students in the majors are notified early in the spring semester of what scholarships will be available in the coming year, and have an opportunity to apply for them.

Detailed information about what scholarships and prizes were available in the most recent academic year can be found on the school's website at http://comminfo.rutgers.edu/current-students/scholarships-and-awards.html.
