Tuition
Cornell tuition, after our generous aid packages, is competitive with the tuition of other leading programs in planning and historic preservation. The amount, time, and manner of payment of tuition, fees, or other charges may be changed at any time without notice. Please refer to the Graduate School website for current information on
tuition, fees, and living expenses.
Financial Aid
Master's Degree Programs
Merit-based assistantships -- tuition assistance and/or a stipend in exchange for teaching, research, or administrative work -- are available to master's level graduate students in regional planning and historic preservation (M.R.P. and M.A.). Assistantships are assigned in two-year packages at the time of admission. International students pursuing master's degrees must demonstrate an ability to support themselves as students.
Ph.D. Program
Cornell supports doctoral candidates in City and Regional Planning for a full term of study -- three to five years -- and admits a very select number of fully funded students each year. To be admitted without financial aid, Ph.D. candidates must demonstrate an ability to support themselves as students.
Sources of Aid
Cornell offers a host of internal resources for student travel, research, and internship support. Our students are also competitive in external grant competitions available through agencies such as the National Science Foundation and the Social Science Research Council.
Questions specific to financial aid for study in the field of City and Regional Planning at Cornell should be directed to the graduate field administrator, Tina Nelson, at (607) 255-6848 or

Fellowship Opportunities
Although you may already have a funding guarantee from Cornell University to support your graduate studies, there are compelling reasons to apply for a competitive external fellowship. For additional fellowship opportunities, and for the URLs of application information websites,
