Scholarships
The NYU Stern MS in Business Analytics and AI program is proud to support applicants through scholarships. We offer partial merit-based MSBAi Dean's Scholarships ranging from $3,000-$5,000 to selected applicants receiving minimal or no financial sponsorship from their employer. The Dean's scholarship is a merit-based award based on a range of criteria including prior academic achievement, professional accomplishments, and demonstration of leadership and teamwork abilities.
All scholarships are individual, one-time awards and are applied toward tuition payments. Scholarship decisions are made based on an overall review of the formal application and its required components and the interview. Applicants will automatically be considered for all available scholarships and will be notified in the offer of admission if selected.
Please note that most MSBAi students finance the program through a combination of personal finances, loans, and company sponsorship. If you are planning on having these discussions with your employer, we are happy to provide you with a template to help you frame the program and its benefits. You may also visit our Sponsorship Page.
Financial Aid
There are many federal and private loan programs available for MS in Business Analytics and AI program students. Please visit Stern's Financial Aid website to learn more.
Students who wish to use financial aid may be eligible for Federal and/or Private student loans. Federal loans consist of funding provided by the government to domestic students (U.S. citizens and permanent residents only). To apply, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Private loans are non-federal loans that are offered through lenders such as banks or credit unions. Most private lenders require non-U.S. citizens and permanent residents to apply with a U.S. based co-signer. For more information, you are welcome to contact the NYU Stern Graduate Financial Aid Office or visit their website.
Veterans
NYU Stern is pleased to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program. This program is available to veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces who are 100% eligible for the new Post 9/11 VA Benefits. During the academic year, Stern will contribute awards of up to $31,600 per academic year to eligible MSBAi students. The Veterans Administration will match these funds for a total award of up to $63,200 per year. Yellow Ribbon recipients will receive the funds for the duration of their MSBAi tenure. Visit NYU's Veterans Benefits page and the Department of Veterans Affairs website for additional information on benefits and eligibility.
