Stipend

The annual stipend for all graduate students and M.D./Ph.D. students is $27,000 (as of Fall 2007). Employee Requisition forms submitted by the Sackler Office for all incoming students are processed through Human Resources. As a result the Confidential Personnel Profile (CPP) is created and processed through the Payroll Department in order to generate paychecks. Students are paid on the 1st day of each month (beginning October 1st for first year students). All graduate students are considered monthly employees and can pick-up their paychecks in the Treasury Department. Students have the option of enrolling in a Direct Deposit program at their bank and should contact Human Resources at 212-404-3777 for further details.

Tuition and Fees

The tuition costs for all courses are paid by the School of Medicine. All students must complete Tuition Remission forms supplied by their training program office during registration. Only those students who are on training grants do not have to complete these forms. Each training program should supply a letter that indicates which account should be charged for the student’s registration fees. Students should submit these documents to the Sackler Office for processing at GSAS.

Any invoices or statements received for tuition and/or fee expenses should be forwarded to the Sackler Office. The Administrative Assistant will be responsible for resolving all tuition and/or fee problems.

Counseling Services

New Information (pdf)

In rare instances, if a student exhibits irrational behavior, noted by faculty or staff, the Associate Dean may make a recommendation that the student receive professional evaluation and treatment. If a student chooses not to comply with this recommendation, he or she will be asked to leave the graduate program. This ruling will be invoked if the student’s actions could potentially lead to personal harm to him/herself or others. This decision is at the discretion of the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and the Dean of the Medical School.

Financial Aid

Sackler students, while eligible to apply for federal financial aid, should consider that their stipend income as a Sackler graduate student and their tuition costs covered by tuition remission or grants are factored into their overall financial need.

FAFSA

The Graduate School of Arts and Science encourages all U.S. citizens and permanent residents to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be considered for all forms of federal and state aid, including the Federal Work-Study Program and private loan programs. Forms are available in January from the University Office of Financial Aid at 25 West 4th Street or Graduate Enrollment Services at One-Half Fifth Avenue. The FAFSA and the required loan applications should be filed after January 1, but preferably, before March 1 for fall enrollment in the following September. Students should give permission for application data to be sent to New York University (write institution code 002785 in the "Title IV Code" space). The telephone number for Graduate Financial Aid is 212-998-4444.

Housing Loans

Low interest loans (4%) for the express purpose of financing housing costs of Ph.D. candidates at the Sackler Institute will be available on the basis of student need and the availability of funds. These loans are available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents only. (M.D./Ph.D. students do not qualify for these loans.) Students must apply for the loan by September 30th of each year by completing an application available in the Sackler Office. While these loans are independent of student Financial Aid packages, they are administered together with the Graduate Financial Aid Office and the Sackler Institute.

Computer Loans

The Sackler Institute offers no-interest, tax-free computer loans to incoming students up to $2,500. Each year during orientation a computer fair is scheduled in the School of Medicine. Students may attend the fair and review the computer packages that are presented (often at greater discounted prices than retail). Other options include designing your own computer package from information available on the internet or speaking with a representative from the NYU Computer Store. After the student chooses a computer package, the order is handled through the Sackler Office. Once the computer hardware arrives, the student signs a payroll deduction agreement (approximately $100 per month) until the entire purchase balance is paid in full.

Travel Awards

Graduate School of Arts and Science,
Student Travel Grant Application 2004-2005

Sackler Travel Grant Application

The Sackler Institute offers one type of travel grant (for presenting or non-presenting students) that wish to attend scientific conferences. The grant may be used for registration, travel, housing, and other reasonable expenses. Stop by the Sackler office to obtain travel award applications.

Eligability

All second year and above Sackler Institute Ph.D. students except those presently on NIH departmental training grants are eligible for the Sackler Institute Travel Grant. (Students on training grants should request program travel funds.) Presentation is not required. The NYU Graduate School of Arts and Science Student Conference Awards are available for Sackler students who are presenting at a meeting. These candidates must apply for the GSAS award prior to applying for a Sackler Travel Grant. All students must complete this application to be eligible for the award.

The student should indicate whether or not they would be presenting at the meeting. Students are eligible for up to $300 in travel grant monies. Students may also apply for the GSAS award, and if awarded, keep these monies in addition to the $300 from Sackler.

Students may be awarded only one (1) travel grant per year. We will not 'bank' any unused monies from an award. MD/PhD students are eligible for awards up to $300 from the MD/PhD program and are also eligible to apply for the GSAS award.

Application Deadlines:

Sackler Travel Grant

Applications should be submitted at least one month prior to the conference for which the funding is being requested. It is suggested that applicants keep a copy of the application for their records.

GSAS travel grant

There are three application periods during the academic year. Stop by the Sackler Office to obtain an application and to inquire about appropriate deadlines.

Selection Process

Sackler Travel Grant

Because of the limited number of awards available, all applications will be reviewed by the Director of the Sackler Institute upon receipt of the application. Applicants will be notified of the decision within 30 days of application submission. Students should not attend conferences expecting to be reimbursed - applicants should be prepared to pay all costs necessary, as funding is not guaranteed.

GSAS Travel Grant

Sackler students compete with other GSAS students for monies, thus approval is not guaranteed. Students are notified by e-mail of their award.

Additional Conditions:


Students may be awarded no more than one travel award per academic year. We will not ‘bank’ any unused monies from an award. Students cannot receive travel monies of more than $600. Grant recipients are expected to make all travel arrangements themselves. Within 10 days upon return from the conferences, recipients must submit original receipts to the Sackler Institute Office on a NYU Travel Expense Report.

Applicants should make an effort to avoid incurring unnecessary expenses (such as unreasonably expensive hotel rooms, transportation tickets, etc.) as such expenses will not be funded. Per university policy, telephone calls will not be reimbursed.
