Make sure to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to determine your eligibility for various forms of financial assistance. Although Cornell offers some merit based scholarships (no additional paperwork is needed) to admitted M.F.A. candidates, we encourage you to seek out alternative sources of funding to help offset the cost.
Questions about financial aid can be addressed by our financial assistance staff and questions pertaining to payment options can be addressed by our business student accounts staff.
