<p>I got admitted to MS in Information Systems at NYU for Fall 2009 and was wondering if NYU had any financial aid options. All I could find was the on campus jobs. Don't they have any research or teaching assistant positions which can help pay for the tuition? I am an international student and so federal aid and other similar aid is ruled out. I really want to go to NYU but tution fees alone would come around 50k for 2 years. Even if I leave frugally I think I will atleast need 1k per month for my rent and other expenses. Is there any external scholarship or research which can help me? My family can help me with a max of 10k per year. Also do you think it would be wise to graduate from NYU with a loan of 60-70k at the end of 2 years?</p>
<p>NYU is stingy with aid, and taking out huge loans to go there wouldn’t be worth it. Your likelihood of getting significantly more is close to nil.</p>
<p>My advice is to do what other students I know have done: Select another college to go to that is more financially feasible. One such student is heading off to a top 20 school for grad school after turning down NYU for a full ride to his state flagship.</p>
<p>I would have to agree with the other posters. I have a client who’s daughter was accepted to NYU. Unfortunately, NYU only covers 75% of need and the rest become the families responsibility. NYU would have cost them $25,000/year. There were a few other colleges she applied to that gave better packages so she is going to them.</p>
