Please note: Financil Aid at Fordham GSS is based on each student's demonstrated need.  You must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be eligible for any needs based scholarship.  If you are unable to file the FAFSA, if for example you do not have a US taxpayer identification number or a social security number, you would not be eligible for any assistance from the the School of Social Service.  However, we would encourage you to look at the website for the Office of International Students.  There may be other forms of assistance that you can utlilize.  The link for that Office is listed below. All international students must fill out an affadavit of support as well.  More information on this form is available through the Office of International Students.
