NYU or Columbia - MSW (How easy is it to find assistantships?)

[Quinoa96]

Hey everyone!

I just had a question about graduate assistantships or fellowships offered at NYU or Columbia. At my current university I know a few graduate students who are MSW but they are doing assistantships with Higher Education. Does anyone have any insight about the process of locating such opportunities? I tried navigating the NYU and Columbia websites, but I couldn't seem to find any information. Thank you all so much!

I haven't attended either institution, but what I've heard is that NYU and Columbia bury their MSWs in debt. There are no or very few graduate assistantships/fellowships at these schools that will pay all or even half of the tuition like are often available at regional public schools that don't have doctoral programs.
