The Katz School currently offers the STEM Fellows program, which includes a $9-$15K scholarship (amount varies by program), reducing total tuition to $25K for a graduate degree. In addition to the scholarship, STEM Fellows receive industry mentorship through their studies and have the opportunity to showcase and publish their research at the Katz School's annual Symposium on Science, Technology and Health.

STEM Fellows have conducted research, completed internships and landed jobs at major companies including IBM, BlackRock, Bank of NY Mellon, Standard & Poor's, Merck, American Eagle Outfitters, New York City MTA, New York Stem Cell Foundation, Digitas North America, Radware, Kantar Health, Lucerna and more. 

The STEM Fellows program is open to both US and international students. International students will be able to work up to 3 years in the United States for their STEM OPT. Applicants are automatically considered for the STEM Fellows program at the time of their application no additional application is needed. STEM Fellows may apply external scholarships (e.g., Fulbright, NSF, government support) towards their tuition but may not combine other scholarships from Yeshiva University or the Katz School with the STEM Fellows scholarship.
