A Note for International Students

Neither Emerson College nor the U.S. federal government provides need-based financial assistance to international students. However, you may be eligible for merit-based awards through the Graduate Admission Office and alternative loans through select private lenders.

When you earn a graduate degree from Emerson College, you’re not only making an investment in your career—you’re creating a pathway toward numerous opportunities and lifelong connections.

Our Office of Financial Aid provides graduate students with a variety of financial aid options that are tailored to advanced study. About three-fourths (¾) of our students receive some type of financial assistance, and we distribute nearly $38 million each year in aid that typically includes grants and scholarships, loans, and federal work-study.
