We are committed to making an iSchool education as accessible as possible.
We know that these are uncertain times. But we also know that iSchool degrees are now in higher demand than ever. A graduate degree from the iSchool will uniquely position you to tackle many of the challenges we’ll face as a global community following the COVID-19 crisis.
That’s why we’ve created a new merit-based award to help make your graduate education possible.
All U.S. citizens and permanent residents are now eligible for a 25% tuition award.
This new USAward is an expansion of our tuition award for NY state residents, and is for incoming main-campus students for Summer or Fall 2020 only.
We are still accepting applications, and once your application has been submitted, and you will be notified if you meet the criteria for the award.
Scholarship List
Our scholarships are highly competitive, and most are partial awards. It is the iSchool’s philosophy to award smaller scholarships to more students, rather than very large awards to only a few. There are also current student awards that provide tuition and work for students who excel and become leaders at the iSchool.
Awards funded by the iSchool cannot be combined. If a student is selected for more than one award, then the higher value award will be offered.
Students who apply before February 1 (fall admission) are given priority consideration. Scholarship decisions are made separately from admissions decisions. Students receiving awards will be notified via email between March and May.
Some scholarships require supplemental materials, while others require only what you submitted for admission. Awards that require additional application materials are noted, and access to additional application materials is granted once you have completed an application to an iSchool program.
Endowed Scholarships
Students who exemplify excellence may be considered for one of the named graduate awards designated specifically for applicants to the M.S. in Library and Information Science and M.S. in Library and Information Science with School Media specialization programs.
These awards are made possible by the generous contributions of alumni and friends of the iSchool, and range from partial to full funding. These awards are offered by the faculty to exceptional admitted students.
No additional application materials are required for these scholarships; candidates are considered based on their application materials.
