<p>New York University
New York City, NY
Percentage receiving aid: 73%</p>
<p>according to findtuition.com</p>
<p>Fiction is stranger than truth?</p>
<p>Find statistics that show NYU "meeting 100% of need." That paints a more accurate picture.</p>
<p>Sure, everybody's receiving aid. Me included. How much, though? Maybe they give everyone a few bucks so they can have this statistic.</p>
<p>My grant money amounts to around 6% of the tuition.</p>
<p>In fact, the tiny amount I receive in aid is almost exactly the same as my "expected family contribution" on the FAFSA!</p>
<p>Hey Cardinal, Is the Stern Scholarship need based?</p>
<p>Umm hate to burst your bubble, but LOANS are included when they say AID...Almost anyone can get a loan from NYU...Grant money is a completely diff. story. So hearing the 73% figure doesn't surprise me. Probably large percentage of that is LOANS</p>
<p>JKidd, this .PDF will explain it better than I can <a href="http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/emplibrary/Tuition,_fees_&_financial_aid.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/emplibrary/Tuition,_fees_&_financial_aid.pdf</a></p>
<p>Basically, Stern scholarships are granted mostly on merit, partially on need.</p>
<p>i wish everyone was getting aid (not loans), but alas my parents get to pay $45k per year for me to move 40 minutes away by subway, less by car. stern had better be worth it!</p>
