<p>are there any scholarships/grants that can lower the cost?</p>
<p>NYU is very darn expensive and their institutional aid goes mainly to students with very good stats. Otherwise, it seems they offer mostly loans. Please do not get your heart set on NYU if you need financial aid!</p>
<p>there are no special applications for scholarships awarded by NYU to incoming freshmen. They are MAINLY done according to NEED, but most likely are awarded to students with demonstrated NEED and very good stats.</p>
<p>My son has received $125,000 in NYU scholarships over the course of his four years at NYU (he graduates in May 2011) so they DO award large $$ but only to a select few.</p>
