NYU Global Liberal Studies

I’m interest in applying to NYU for the fall of 2017, although the cost is huge turn off. I understand that they are pretty stingy with financial aid, and I need lots of aid. However, I heard that if you are willing to study abroad as freshman under the Global Liberal Studies Program, than there is significantly more financial aid available. Can anybody offer insight into this? Can anybody elaborate based on experience or previous knowledge? Thank you!
