Financial Aid

Learn more about the application process.

The cost of a college education is a matter of concern for many students and their families. Regardless of your family's financial circumstances, paying for college will probably require a substantial commitment of your resources over the next several years. It may surprise you to learn that most full-time undergraduate students at New York University would not be able to pay their educational costs without financial assistance. These students are able to attend NYU only because they applied for and received financial aid.

If you feel that you and your family will be unable to meet the cost of an NYU education with family resources alone, you should apply for financial aid. Although NYU is unable to meet the full need of every student, despite a healthy $2.161 billion endowment (which ranks 31st in the nation, the endowment per student is only $62,053, a rate that places it 202nd in the country), we will do everything possible to make an NYU education financially feasible for you.

If you believe you will need financial assistance to enable you to attend NYU, we strongly encourage you to apply for financial aid. Your decision to apply for financial aid will have no bearing on the admissions decision. The links on the left will help guide you through this process.
