- The GRE General test is optional for the application to the graduate program NVU Psychology. We believe that the results of the test can provide valuable information in the records of a student, information that is different from the other elements and that could allow a student to disclose the distinction intellectual that would distinguish. At the same time, we are aware that the GRE is expensive and can pose a barrier to the application for admission to the doctoral programs. It is in the interest of removing this barrier that we have done that the GRE is optional. If you decide to send scores GRE, should be sent before the deadline of admission December 1, 2023. Keep in mind that STDS (that makes the GRE) has a rate reduction program which reduces to half the cost of the GRE for students who do not have the means to pay the exam

Financial support
Our policy of financial support makes it possible for graduate students to focus on their own research interests and to follow a course of research as independent as appears appropriate. All students (including international students) are guaranteed the support for five years, the expected time needed to complete the doctorate. The support covers the full tuition and a stipend of at least $ 40,500 per year (including the research and teaching of the summer).
Regardless of the source of support, all students must meet the same requirements. It is expected that all students play an active role in the teaching functions of the undergraduate of the Department.
For more information, see External support.
External support
The Group of Graduates in Psychology encourages all students to apply for external support. Win external support is a good thing for all involved. In the first place, it is a sign that the ideas of the student are well thought out by academic field, scholars beyond the borders of the institution that will benefit from the support. This is a powerful backing, so that you could place in your own life. In the second place, the external support can provide the money needed to carry out the investigation, the money for the equipment, the costs of the subjects, the research assistants, etc., And the external support may be provided to a student with a stipend beyond their 5th year. External support will also enable the Group of Graduates to support an additional student with the money that replaces the external support. Therefore, we encourage all students to apply.
The two sources most prominent of external support are the predoctoral fellowships (NSF), the National Science Foundation and the Awards of the National Service Research (NRSA). The NSF are highly competitive and prestigious. Students are eligible to apply for them: in his last year of college and in the first and second year of Graduate School. We encourage all eligible students to submit their application. Foreign citizens are not eligible. The information on the Program NSF can be found.
The Awards to the National Service of Research of the National Institutes of Health (NIH, for its acronym in English) provide support for basic and applied science. The NRSA also provides a small amount of money for the costs of research. Students can apply in any year, even though the 3rd year is probably, in the typical case, the year is more reasonable to apply. Information about these programs can be found. Please note that the NRSA cover approximately 60% of the total cost of tuition, stipend, health insurance, and fees. The NIH does not require that the Faculty of Arts and Sciences make up the difference in costs and SAS does not assume that responsibility. Depending on how it is funded students, the advisors shall be liable to compensate for the difference in the cost or the student is expected to be proportional to the difference in funding. To obtain a list of students who currently have NRSA or for more information on the rules of financing, in the Group of post-Graduate in Psychology, please contact the DGS.
In addition to these training programs are large and spacious, there are a number of more limited programmes for which you may be eligible.
