Financial aid is available through the federal government. U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens may borrow funds for graduate study. To file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) electronically, please visit Federal Student Aid website.
Financial aid applications for the upcoming academic year will be available from January 1 through approximately May 15 of the following year. For example, individuals who are applying for admission to the Fall 2013 cohort, which begins at the start of the 2013-2014 academic year, can apply for financial aid as early as January 1, 2013, or as late as May 15, 2014. Those who plan to use financial aid as a means of paying tuition for a given academic year are advised to submit their FAFSA financial aid applications no fewer than six weeks prior to the start of the cohort.

“The scholarship award, thanks to the kindness of Mr. Harvey Bookstein, has assisted me in achieving my education and career goals, and increased my chances of success. Without a doubt, this award has helped me reduce the financial burdens of pursuing a master’s degree in taxation.”

In 2005, Harvey Bookstein (B.A., Accounting, 1970), together with his wife Harriet, created the Bookstein Institute for Higher Education in Taxation at CSUN and endowed the Harvey and Harriet Bookstein Chair in Taxation, the first endowed chair in the College of Business and Economics. The Bookstein’s gift was among CSUN’s largest from an alumnus.
Mr. Bookstein co-founded Roth, Bookstein & Zaslow – the accounting and business-consulting firm that later became RBZ, LLP – in 1975. He served as the firm’s managing partner for 23 years, and – since 2007 – has served as co-managing partner.
Through the Bookstein’s generosity and support, the M.S. in Taxation program provides a number of scholarships to students who demonstrate excellence and promise.
“I am in the business of ensuring that my clients succeed and prosper. I hope that by establishing this Chair and Institute, which supports resources for the faculty and scholarships for the students, I can help Cal State Northridge business faculty and students to do the same.”
