Fellowships

In addition to the list below, there are several fellowships that are awarded based on academic merit and financial need. Applicants who wish to be considered for fellowships must indicate a desire to receive financial aid on their application forms. For more information on financial aid options in addition to fellowships, please visit Student Financial Services at The New School.

Masters Curatorial Fellowship

Masters Fellows work one day per week in a curatorial department of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in exchange for partial tuition remission. These one-year appointments engage students in all aspects of curatorial work, gallery lectures, and exhibition research. Fellows are selected on the basis of academic distinction and these positions are renewable for a second year.

Teaching Assistantships

Students may apply for a teaching assistantship in many of the undergraduate programs at Parsons. Under the supervision of a faculty member, a student teaches recitation sections of a lecture class in exchange for partial tuition remission. Second-year students may also serve as discussion leaders for recitation sections of Survey of Decorative Arts I and II.

Graduate Teaching Fellows are responsible for their own section of a required undergraduate course in the Critical Studies Department. Fellows are selected on the basis of academic distinction and receive an honorarium for this service.
