Scholarship Summary:
NYU is committed to affordability through the NYU Promise, guaranteeing that every undergraduate–domestic and international–who start as a first-year student admitted to the New York campus, will have 100% of their demonstrated need met through a combination of scholarships and grants.
In addition, families with income less than $100,000 and who hold typical assets will not have to pay tuition. Scholarships will be adjusted to meet tuition increases each year.
Scholarship Applicant Criteria:
To be eligible for the NYU Promise, applicants must;
i. Be admitted as first-year undergraduate students to the New York campus
ii. Demonstrate financial need
Value of Scholarship:
The NYU Promise will meet 100% of demonstrated need and that means that NYU will cover, through institutional scholarships, federal/state grants, and expected student work, the cost of attendance–including tuition, housing, food, books, and supplies–less the amount that your family is expected to contribute as determined by the information provided on the CSS Profile.
- Students admitted as first-year undergraduate students to the New York campus who apply for financial aid by the financial aid deadlines, and who have a family income under $100,000 with typical assets, will not have to pay tuition.
- If your demonstrated need is greater than the cost of NYU tuition, your scholarship and grant aid will exceed tuition to meet your demonstrated need.
Scholarship Application Guide:
To be reviewed for the NYU Promise initiative, you must file all financial aid applications on time.
