<p>rinchen, the only public in NY with a pharmacy school is University at Buffalo, which is a FAFSA only school that does not guarantee to meet full need. Luckily, they are reasonably priced and NYS still provides decent aid to lower income students. Assuming you have an EFC of 0, you’ll be eligible for a full Pell grant ($5550), a full TAP award (around $4900), and a first year Stafford loan of $5500 ($3500 subsidized, $2000 unsubsidized). UB would also likely award you work study, a Perkins loan, and some smaller grants like SUSTA and SEOG. UB does offer merit money and also has a full tuition scholarship that low-income, minority, or first generation students can apply for. You should be able to come very close to having 100% of your need met at UB, but should be aware that it is must be very competitive to get into their PharmD program. But you could, at least, take your 2-3 years of pre-reqs there and avoid borrowing large sums until you’re actually in pharm school. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions about UB or pharmacy schools in NY.</p>
