<p>I was browsing student reviews of NYU when I came across a post that mentioned that "Freshmen normally get the best financial aid packages, to attract students I suppose."
NYU</a> - New York University - Epinions.com
I know that NYU is notorious for not so generous aid offers, but can an NYU student dispel the above claim? If we receive x amount for a university scholarship during our freshmen year, is there a risk of not seeing the same amount of money from NYU our second, third, and fourth years?</p>
<p>I've heard scholarships are guaranteed all four years, as long as your grades keep up. Are they talking about more about the grants?</p>
<p>I'll let you know in June (when current students get their FA package for next year) if they changed anything.</p>
<p>I am assuming the scholarship is for all 4 years, they told me so when I called them last year. </p>
<p>My EFC is actually a few hundred less for next year. I don't expect any more aid. I do expect to be paying more than my EFC. Tuition will be higher and even if my son gets a cheap dorm next year it will be more (about 2K) than his rubin room is. </p>
<p>The thing I'm really hoping is that he will still get a perkins loan no less than he did this year (2400). I know the stafford for sophomores is 1K more than for freshman.</p>
<p>the bottom line, even if his scholarship is the same (and it has to be if he is to continue at NYU), I will be paying more out of pocket than this year. I understood that going into this.</p>
