Student Employment

Undergraduate Work-Study

Select undergraduate students will receive a Federal Work-Study (FWS) award with their NYU-Poly award letter. This award allows you the opportunity to obtain on-campus, and even off-campus, employment through the FWS program, which is funded by the federal government. A Federal Work-Study award will automatically be included in your award letter if your FAFSA demonstrates financial need.

Graduate Assistantships

NYU-Poly has a robust graduate assistantship program that allows eligible students to offset the cost of their tuition with paid, on-campus jobs related to their field of study. These positions are similar to internships in the way that they’re designed to provide you not just with financial support, but also to enhance your educational experience and prepare you for a career in industry, research, teaching, or entrepreneurship.
