My Financial Aid Package

I would divide that 67,000 in savings over the 4 years, instead of 2. If you are getting 15,000 from NYU then that is pretty much a guarantee for the 4 years, barring any drastic change in your finances or education GPA. This way you can have a better idea of what it will take to graduate in 4 years and what your financial burdens will be…it is too risky to spend all that money for 2 years then not know where the rest will come from.</p>

<p>If you add up your savings and scholarships you have 37500 and Perkins and sub and unsub stafford you will have a total of 39650. Not bad! Maybe your parents can take the rest out in a Parent a plus loan approx 12,000-15,000 per year, approx what it would cost for an instate education at a state school. You can cut .your costs with low cost housing and waiving insurance.</p>

<p>laulirich: we appealed my financial aid package and we got another $3,000 out of them pretty easily. They may not give you as much, but it’s worth a shot, there’s no way it can hurt.</p>
