In addition to the NYU Tandon conference fund, the FRE Department will also sponsor students on a first-come, first-served basis for conferences taking place in NYC, subject to budget availability. The department will review the details of the conference to determine whether it aligns with the MSFE program curriculum, and will subsequently notify all students about conferences that the department can sponsor. The sponsorship amount will be based on the cost of the conference registration fee.

Sponsorship for students presenting at a conference will be subject to additional review by the FRE Faculty to determine if the material being presented is related to the field of Financial Engineering and must demonstrate high-quality master's level work.

Students who have already received funding for a conference in the past are not eligible for this opportunity. This ensures that the department can support the widest possible range of students.

NYU Tandon Conference Fund

In addition to the FRE-Sponsored Conference Attendance, all currently matriculated NYU Tandon students in good academic and disciplinary standing are eligible to request funding to attend a national or regional conference once per academic year directly from NYU Tandon. Students are welcome to apply for funding to attend any conference that they believe will contribute to their personal and professional development.

If you would like to be considered for funding, please submit an application a minimum of 30 days in advance of the early registration deadline for your proposed conference. For further details about the application process, eligibility details, and expectations of funding awardees please see this Conference Funding FAQs document.
