NYU Steinhardt MA Higher Ed Question

[higherED2010]

I know that NYU has a required internship that provides "stipend and tuition support".

Does anyone know how much this tuition support or stipend is? Does it depend on what internship you are accepted to?

Thanks for the help.

I've heard from someone who works at NYU that the graduate assistantship with the higher ed program helps out with tuition a lot there, but I don't have an exact number for you. You should call or email admissions as ask for some numbers - I asked how much the grad assistantship pays when I looked at Penn since it's so expensive. Where else have you applied if you don't mind me asking? Have you heard from anywhere yet? Good luck with NYU - I didn't apply but I've heard great things about the program.

Thanks for the information. I'll try to email admissions and see if they can give me some numbers on the assistantship.

I applied to UPenn, Harvard, Teachers College and NYU (all either MA or EdM degrees). I haven't heard back from any, but if I read the website correctly NYU should send out acceptances/rejections out mid to late February (well at least to interview for the internship positions). Hopefully all goes well. Good luck with your applications.
