Incoming Freshman FA Negotiation

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University
1

<p>I was recently accepted to NYU Stern, an amazing business school of course. What doesn't add up, as I expect doesn't for most people, is the amount of aid offered. Right now the cost is pretty much unfeasible for myself or my family to pay. I have been accepted to a few other business schools, but they would probably be a bit "below" the Stern standard/name in the realm of undergraduate business schools. What I'd like to know, is if anyone has successfully managed to negotiate for more financial aid (grants/scholarships) after producing additional financial documents for NYU to consider. The prospect of it happening are probably quite slim, but I'd like to give it a chance, or hear from some people, before I have to completely cross Stern off my list.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>To my knowledge, appeals on FA are not allowed.</p>

<p>You may talk to FA Office Personnel by phone and possibly they will give you $1000-3000 more. Not anything more substantial.</p>

<p>However, NYU will consider a written appeal if your family circumstances have changed substantially since the filing of your FAFSA in 2/11, due to unemployment, loss of income due to disability, death of a parent/ spouse, divorce of a parent, excessive medical and dental expenses, etc. You fill out the Professional Judgment Form:</p>
