Parsons Presents: A Toast To Our Students

Building on its century of leadership at the forefront of progressive education, The New School is committed to ensuring that a truly diverse community of curious, creative, and collaborative students can choose a Parsons education. To foster the growth of these future design leaders, the University awards $110 million to up to 80 percent of our students each year in the form of scholarships, fellowships and financial aid. 

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic instability placed a new set of financial pressures on The New School and our 10,000+ undergraduate and graduate students. In the 2020-21 academic year, The New School is projecting an additional $22 million in financial need from students, beyond the $110 million typically awarded. 

Your contribution will have a direct and lasting impact on today's students by supporting much-needed financial aid for talented young people who otherwise would be unable to pursue their studies at Parsons and The New School.

Supporters of $2,500 or above will be sent a special thank you from Veuve Clicquot to enjoy at home. Cheers!
