You have a range of financial aid options that could make a Teachers College degree more affordable, including federal aid, institutional (or TC-specific) aid, and aid from external or private funding resources. For most types of aid, there are processes and schedules that you must follow if you wish to be considered for funding. Please be sure to adhere to all noted deadlines in order to maximize your eligibility.
The Office of Financial Aid, along with Teachers College Faculty and, in some cases special Committees, support reviewing and determining your eligibility for a variety of aid programs at Teachers College.
In addition to aid from Teachers College, you may be eligible for federal or external forms of aid, as well as private funding resources. Many of these forms of aid can be combined, and in some cases, you may need to repay some aid in the future. We encourage you to explore all possible forms of funding to support your TC education.
