<p>no, i transferred from Stony to NYU. i assume you go to brooklyn tech because there are so many tech students there and you’re from nyc.
25k only applies as financial aid from NYU’s endowment. That means that’s the most you can get from NYU itself. HOWEVER, the HEOP and C-STEP program are actually government assistance so overall aid can be OVER 25K. NYU focuses more on need-based but doesnt mean it only gives out need-based aid only. i know quite some who has like 7k scholarship just for merit. in general sense, they probably meant they will give MORE to needy students and less to less needy students.</p>
