Apply for college this year and want to know the specific grants and scholarships for only new york residents.
Or any other kind of financial aid not just for ny residents.
Applying colleges( nyu, ohio state, Purdue, george washington)
If anybody know anything please share with me.
NYS has a [Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)](NYS Higher Education Services Corporation - NYS TAP) that’s available to low income state residents who are attending colleges in NYS. How much can your parents afford to pay for college? The best aid comes from colleges, but public colleges generally don’t give a lot to out of state students. If you’re considered a state resident but your parents can’t pay much, you might want to consider applying to a SUNY as a safety and targeting schools that give merit awards for your stats. Run each college’s Net Price Calculator to get an idea of what they’d expect your family to pay.
If this is your latest GPA and SAT score, you likely won’t get much aid at OOS schools, so unless your parents can pay the costs, you may need to target NYS schools.
You say in another thread that you live in Pakistan but you’re a NYS resident. Unless you have a parent living in NYS, then according to their [residency rules](https://www.suny.edu/smarttrack/residency/) I’m not sure you qualify as a resident. If that’s the case, state schools will cost your family at least $30k/year. And as a nonresident, you wouldn’t qualify for any state aid.
“Individuals who are financially dependent and whose custodial parent(s) lives in a state other than New York are generally not eligible for the resident tuition rate.” – SUNY Guide to Residence Tuition Policy

How is NY your home-state when you don’t live in the US?
How much will your parents pay each year?
Your stats are too low for the schools on your list and you’d be full pay.
Nyu poly has a acceptance rate of 75% not to forget @mom2collegekids with a average sat score of 1700 and 3.4 gpa !
@Haidarasjad i think you got a decent shot but it depends upon the admission committee only.
@austinmshauri is right so i dont have to say anything
@collegefreaks Is the student applying to NYU or NYU-Poly?
It doesn’t matter whether or not @Haidarasjad has a shot at acceptance to NYU. S/he said in another thread that they need a lot of financial aid to attend college and NYU won’t give that.
OP, were you born in the US or you just have a parent who lives here? If you’re a US citizen, you may qualify for a federal Pell grant (of up to $5k/year), but it’s dependent upon your family income. You could also get the federal student loan (about $5k/year), but that’s it. If you weren’t born in the US, you’ll be considered an international student, even if a parent lives here. If that’s the case, admission odds are much steeper and costs are likely to be too much.
I want to stress that if you’re an international and are caught lying, you can be deported and permanently barred from entry to the US. If you’re a US citizen, you can be kicked out of school, have your degree rescinded, and face federal charges if it’s believed you obtained money on a fraudulent basis. So even if you miraculously got $70k/year from a US college, you’d end up owing $280k plus interest anyway.
@mom2collegekids he said engineering so definitely he will apply for poly bcz poly is now the engineering school of nyu. Or you can say Tandon school of engineering.
I’m not sure it matters which NYU college s/he applies to, does it? NYU costs $70k/year. OP doesn’t have that & NYU won’t give it for his/her stats.
@collegefreaks I don’t know who told you that NYU-poly has a 75% admissions rate, but if you or someone that you know is applying on that basis, they are going to be in for a world of disappointment.
Op, if your parents are not physically living in NYS, you will not be eligible for NYS TAP. If you are not physically attending school in NYS and graduating from a NYS school, you will not be eligible for the scholarships from the HESC link that BelknapPoint provided.
Lying on your applications is not something you should be considering. In this day and age, it is very easy to verify whether information is fact…or a huge lie. Colleges frown on dishonesty. The frown even more on dishonesty that results in financial gain for the student.
If you plan to be dishonest on your applications, I would suggest you reconsider whether you are really suited for a college education…anywhere.
Now…regarding your question. If you don’t live in NY state, you can’t get NY state aid…period. Your other threads indicate you are living abroad, which makes you ineligible…as Sybbie pointed out.
NYU is $70,000 a year, and their need based aid is not assured. George Washington is come to or at the same price. I doubt you will get significant aid from them either.
OSU and Purdue will be close to $45,000 a year. You are OOS for both, and likely will not get significant aid there either.
If you need significant financial aid…you need a different list of colleges.
Your current GPA would make me question acceptance to some of these schools. It sounds like you have a downward grade trend…and schools are not looking for students who do worse every year of HS.
@thumper1 did the OP write something suggesting he’s going to lie?

This is the OPs thread about what a friend suggested. Read the OP to the thread.

lol…oh wow. Thanks for the link. crazy that someone might think that would work!!! that’s not how athletes are recruited
How long have you resided in Pakistan? What makes you think you are a NY resident?
Is this OP for real?
