<p>How generous is NYU Poly in giving out financial aid without loans?</p>
<p>Not going to happen. NYU is only generous with the very top of the application pool. Loans are a very big part of NYU’s financial aid package.</p>
<p>That’s unfortunate. Thanks. </p>
<p>Well, “poly” before being “NYU” used to be pretty generous, more so than NYU itself. They swore up and down that integration into NYU proper would not affect the “generous” financial aid (ie., wouldn’t become as paltry as NYU overall). Still, they have to make a good-faith effort if they want the school to take off and not get them down in the rankings etc. Does anyone have definite information about whether or how the integration has changed its aid policies?</p>
<p>NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering’s net price calculator web site is forbidden:

<p>NYU’s main net price calculator is here:

<p>It does not ask for your major, so it has no way of showing whether engineering majors get better financial aid than other NYU students. The more conservative assumption would be that the financial aid is now NYU-standard (i.e. much worse than the former Polytechnic Institute’s financial aid, though continuing students who entered before the full merger may have their better financial aid grandfathered in).</p>
