The major aid programs available to students in graduate degree programs through the Financial Aid Office include the following:
Work: Federal Work-Study
Loans: Perkins Loan, Direct Loan (Subsidized), Direct Loan (Unsubsidized)
>>> Note that the Subsidized Direct Loan WILL NOT be available to graduate students as of the 2012-2013 academic year.
Be sure to review detailed application, eligibility, and award information on our applying for aid page, from our LOANS and WORK selections at the top of each page, and our details pages on the various aid programs for students in our graduate degree programs.
The work and loan programs require a minimum 6-credit registration each semester.
The major aid programs through the Financial Aid Office for graduate students are loans. If you feel you will need to borrow money to help you cover your expenses here, file all required applications as quickly as possible so you will know your loan award amounts and how to plan.
Graduate departments are a good source of information about funding for students in that field, as well as about any graduate assistantships they may have.
Queens College is one of the few CUNY campuses to participate in the Federal TEACH Grant program for students in specific master's degree education division programs. Among other requirements, students have to file the FAFSA application. Information about additional eligibility requirements, interviews, and forms, as well as about how this grant can become an expensive LOAN, is available on the TEACH GRANT application on our FORMS page.
CUNY offers CUNYCAP, the Counseling Assistantship Program. Details are on the CUNY website at http://web.cuny.edu/jobs/student-jobs/jobs/counsel-assist-prog.html.
For additional financial help, see our resources for finding other sources of aid web page.
Note: Students in a PhD program at the CUNY Graduate Center should file for aid through the Graduate Center. Students at CUNY Law School at Queens College should file for aid through the Law School.
