Columbia GSAPP offers institutional financial aid to support the graduate education of the most highly qualified applicants from a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities. Awarded at the time of admission, GSAPP scholarships for incoming students are competitive and are awarded based on recommendations by the program’s admissions committee.
In Fall 2022, Columbia GSAPP established a scholarship funded by Dean’s Office to provide an additional source of support for students during the course of your studies. The School will award up to 30 tuition-relieving, need-based scholarships of $5,000 each in the 2022-23 academic year. All currently enrolled students are eligible to apply; selections will be made based on the Scholarship Need Assessment submissions in order to prioritize the students with the greatest financial need.
For additional information on cost of attendance and funding resources, please see the Tuition and Aid webpage.

For 2022-2023 awards, students must be enrolled in the Fall 2022 term.
