Scholarships
Eligibility
Brooklyn College offers a number of scholarships to incoming graduate students. Incoming students are considered automatically based on their admissions application.
CURRENTLY ENROLLED students in the MHC, I/O, or Experimental Psychology Masters’ programs continuing their studies in the upcoming Fall semester are eligible to apply for the following Scholarships awarded by the Psychology Department’s Honors and Awards Committee on an annual basis, near the end of Spring semester.
