Institutional Aid
Your financial aid offer may include funding provided directly by Teachers College, in addition to any federal financial aid for which you may be eligible. Institutional aid may include scholarships, grants, fellowships, assistantships, and other awards.
Institutional aid from Teachers College is generally awarded based on program-specific eligibility criteria rather than demonstrated financial need. Unlike loans, institutional scholarships, grants, and other gift aid do not need to be repaid.
How to Be Considered for Institutional Aid
When completing your Teachers College admission application, be sure to indicate that you would like to considered for scholarships when asked whether you wish to be considered for financial aid.
Some types of institutional aid may require an additional application or have specific eligibility requirements. The Office of Financial Aid can help you understand whether additional steps are required for the aid for which you may be considered.
