financial aid for new york residents

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 If you’re a US citizen, you can be kicked out of school, have your degree rescinded, and face federal charges if it’s believed you obtained money on a fraudulent basis.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.
