Global Learning Award

A limited number of scholarships, offered by the Office of Global Programs in New York, will be available to students who have been selected for a Professional Development Opportunity at NYU Florence.

Further information will be provided to the students selected for a PDO position on campus. NYU Students who are fully funded are not financially eligible to receive a Global Learning Award

Students will receive an email from the NYU Office of Financial Aid informing them that they have been selected to receive a Global Learning Award and students should check their NYU Bursar account to see if the funds have been posted. These Global Learning Awards will be reflected on the selected individual student’s financial aid package (viewable in Albert) and then reflected on the student’s personal NYU Bursar account during the semester. The award will be applied towards any outstanding balance charged through the University first. Once the balance is covered, the remaining portion of the award will be refunded to the student.

Amounts awarded will vary depending on the specific opportunity. PDO's are not a guaranteed form of financial aid and are in no way related to the Federal Work Study Program (only available on the NYU Washington Square Campus). It is very important for students to budget for the study away experience. We strongly encourage students to contact the NYU Financial Aid Office and discuss alternate methods of financing their semester abroad.

If a student’s financial aid package is amended with any additional need-based aid, such as scholarships or federal work study, for the given academic year their award may be reduced. Please be aware this award is specific to the student’s confirmed in-person enrollment at NYU Florence. The award cannot be deferred to a different semester.

Given the limited number of opportunities on campus and the competitive nature of the application process at NYU Florence, not all applicants will be granted a PDO or be financially eligible to receive a Global Learning Award.
