<p>My families annual income is 30,000 $ a year. All from my dads job. Mom doesnt work.
1200$ in assets(mom).</p>
<p>What can i expect as my financial aid at NYU? Full? Not full? More loan than grant? Vice Versa?</p>
<p>NYU is almost 100% sure to not give you full.... i dunno if they ever give anyone full aid..</p>
<p>ok...so my efc is 0....my parents' income in US dollars is abt $15000 (i live abroad....but i am a permanent resident..so im eligible for federal aid) wich means theyll hav to consider giving full i ges.....does that affect decisions in ne way? i really wanna go to nyu :(....</p>
<p>my parents' make 13,000 a year and im sure they wont give me a full ride if i get in. the most they'll give me is a bunch of grants and like a 8,000-10,000 loan package. and no , the income doesnt make a difference-need blind</p>
<p>I'm also curious about this. I'm claiming independent this year and my efc is a little over 2,000. I'm really nervous about fin. aid. because my parents aren't giving me any money for school.</p>
<p>Your best bet is to check previous year's posts to see what students in similar financial situations have received. The average financial aid package at NYU is ~$20,000. Annual costs are ~$50,000. Many, if not most, financial aid packages consist largely of loans. Chances of receiving anything near a full-ride from NYU are very slim. Unfortunately, that's a reality. If you've submitted your FAFSA, you should get the financial aid package with, or soon after, your acceptance in April. Best of luck to all of you.</p>
<p>adrien, achieving emancipated status is not easy. Generally speaking, you have to either be married or 24 years old, have no financial connection to your parents which would include them using you as a tax deduction, not living with them, etc. I wouldn't count on that allowing you to receive more in financial aid from NYU.</p>
<p>alwaysamom- I am 23, and the question on FAFSA this year was something like "Were you born before Jan 1985?" which I was. My parents do not claim me on their taxes. Other than currently residing under my mother's roof to save money, I pay for my own everything, including food, car, health insurance, etc. Hopefully I get SOME sort of break and am not paying off loans until I'm 50. =</p>
<p>NYU does NOT commit to meeting the full demonstrated need. Other, better endowed, schools do. FinAid does not equal grants. It is some combination of grants, work-study, and low-interest loans.</p>
<p>I think that if they want you, with $13k annual income they will make sure that you have zero out-of-pocket expenses to attend. You may have to graduate with a moderate loan burden.</p>
<p>P.S. Having lived on income ranging from $6k/year to 6 figures/year, I admire the people who manage to make ends meet with modest means, and raise their kids to respect and love school work. I have always been a big fan of taking into account socio-economic circumstances (but not race or ethnicity) in admissions decisions, despite the fact that such preferences may affect my D's chances of admission</p>
<p>I know I for sure will not get a full ride, but there's a difference between paying off loans until I'm 30 and paying them off until I'm 50, haha.</p>
<p>id say with an incomce of less than 20k expect to pay about 8-10k/year which is considerally cheaper than 50k....</p>
