Financial Aid for Waitlisters

<p>If you got off the waitlist, did you get your fin aid yet? I still haven't gotten mine, and I kinda need to know for me to make my decision...</p>

<p>Yeah, I got mine. It is just a bunch of loans. However, my EFC for FAFSA was the maximum, so I don't really know how your aid will be. Just call the FA office and ask them for your awards.</p>

<p>i only got loans, u have to log in to see ur awards if u dont want to wait for snail mail</p>

<p>where do we go to log in?</p>

<p>oh you have to get the nyu account?</p>

<p>im gonna do that as soon as i get home!</p>

<p>I have the account..but where do we go to get fin aid?</p>

<p>go to nyu home -> academics -> albert student login -> financial aid</p>

<p>I just got off the phone with them, and apparently they just mailed the award letter today. I'm getting 3OK in grants and scholarships, 4K in work study, and 5K in federal loans. I'm also eligible for up to 11.5K in federal plus loans, so I'm very satisfied with the package. It's more than I expected, since I got in off the waitlist and I didn't think they'd have that much money left over.</p>

<p>.............holy crap. that's better than any deal i've heard of nyu giving</p>

<p>Well, the 3OK does include federal grants, but I'm getting a solid 18K - 2OK from NYU scholarships and grants, I believe.</p>

<p>how did u find ur PIN? i don't have it, and net partner says my email is unknown, which is weird since i have my NYU home account.</p>

<p>Use the NYU ID in you acceptance letter. It did the same for me until I used the acceptance letter ID. Or, it could have just been that they didn't start it and at the time there was no pin to give.</p>

<p>yea i have my UID. but it wouldn't give me the pin.</p>

<p>I just called the office and checked my Fa information.</p>

<p>I recieved about 20k of grants and scholarships,</p>

<p>4.5k work study</p>

<p>6k stafford loan and perkins loan</p>

<p>and offer of 21k parents plus loans.</p>

<p>Idk, since they are renewable, i should work harder to get more grants and scholarships once i get there.</p>

<p>Wow, your package sounds very similar to mine. XD
Only you got slightly more. ;O
I wonder if they're this generous with everyone on the waitlist - I have friends who got accepted RD and only got 10K.</p>

<p>Something interesting happened yesterday. I mentioned earlier that my FA was ALL loans, but yesterday they completely removed the awards section of my FA page. This means that they might be recalculating my FA a little. I hope at least I will be getting SOME scholarship money. I mean, four years of working my ass off at school should count for something...</p>

<p>rszanto/ i finally have access to online FA website. however i don't have awards tab either. so hopefully you will be getting scholarships! nyu costs too much without them.....</p>

<p>for all you waitlisters who got a lot of money, is your income really high?</p>

<p>My parents make somewhere around 2OK a year and I have a little brother.</p>

<p>20k..is that 20,000 or 200,000?</p>

<p>hmm..I still haven't gotten any fin aid whatsoever..My parents make over 100,000 I wonder if I get anything..</p>
