Financial Awards for MS·PTC Students

MS·PTC Graduate Assistantship

MS ·PTC supports a graduate or research assistant each year with an award of full tuition and fees. Competition is strong for this award; the successful candidate will have completed the first semester as a full-time student (9 credits) with an excellent academic record and commitment to the program, discipline, and profession.

NJIT Provost Fellowship

A Provost Fellowship provides a $2,000 tuition award each semester to qualified students at the time of admission to full-time study toward a Master’s degree; students who are already admitted are not eligible.  To be considered for a fellowship, applicants must meet the following criteria: completion of an earned baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university; achievement of an undergraduate cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (or its equivalent); and submission of official GRE or GMAT results.

A Provost Fellowship is sustainable for a maximum of three consecutive semesters of full-time study (four semesters for students enrolled in the MBA program; six semesters for students enrolled in the Master of Architecture program) in a student’s initial Master’s program at NJIT.  Students receiving a fellowship must maintain a cumulative graduate GPA of 3.25 or better, and make satisfactory progress toward the Master’s degree during enrollment at NJIT.  Academic records will be reviewed at the conclusion of each semester to determine a student’s eligibility for the subsequent semester.   Students who wish to pursue a second master’s degree at NJIT and applicants for doctoral study are not eligible for this award.

The Office of Graduate Admissions will review all admitted students who satisfy the criteria and make recommendations to the Office of Graduate Studies.  Recipients will be notified in writing.  No special application is required.
