How much financial aid does NYU provide to low EFC families?

<p>Like say if your EFC would be under $5000 and your stats were decent, how much does NYU usually give in grants/scholarships? </p>

<p>I heard that NYU is very stingy when it comes to financial aid, but $30k+ worth of loans a year does not sound appealing at all</p>

<p>Our EFC was $1049 and my D was given about $28K per year in grants and scholarships. The rest was suggested loans and work study.</p>

<p>Okay, just an update for all financial aid hopefuls, I got my packet today.</p>

<p>I got $34.5K worth of scholarships and grants! NYU here I come! =D</p>

<p>Congrats!!!</p>

<p>Danyo, what were your stats?</p>

<p>Ahhh, my stats are nothing too spectacular. I got into the film production program for Tisch.</p>

<p>3.63UW GPA
31 ACT
Good essays and film submitted
A LOT of extra currics and leadership roles. </p>

<p>Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Danyo, what was your financial status? I had very similar stats except a 32 ACT and I got $10K.</p>

<p>Ahhh.. my parents own a small business in Jewelry. But gold has skyrocketed over the past few years so our income lately has almost approaching zero.</p>

<p>The only major grant I had was the Provost's Grant ($11k)
I also received a Tisch Scholarship ($9k) and a J. Eckhouse Scholarship ($11k).</p>
