The best thing since getting accepted!

<p>I got into Stern, I suspected that after I got a University Day.</p>

<p>But today when I finally got my Stern acceptance letter I was surprised to see a nice $15,000 Stern Scholarship placed under my cost estimates.</p>

<p>This is awesome considering how hard those scholarships are to come by and the fact that without that scholarship attending NYU would be impossible.</p>

<p>I don't have the letter with me but estimated awards we're</p>

<p>~15,000 Stern Scholarship
~22,000 PLUS Loan
~4,000 Work Study
~2,400 P&L
~2,600 Stafford</p>

<p>I could get a summer job for $5,000+ depending on where I work as well.</p>

<p>Besides this being a boon after I was rejected from my two Ivies, Wharton and Columbia... Im also curious</p>

<p>Does the scholarship also qualify me as a Stern Scholar? (with all the benefits thereof?) or do I just get a nice boost to my payment plan to NYU?</p>

<p>hi, I also got acceptance letter today from Stern School of Business. I desperately in need of money to support study. I'm glad you get your scholarship of $15,000.</p>

<p>How to apply this, is it come with your acceptance letter? I didn't find anything. btw, i'm a canada student..</p>

<p>I think it's financial aid rather than scholarships, and they give it to you based on merit. There's no applications; They just give it to you if your grades are high enough.</p>

<p>I'm not 100% positive though. Could someone confirm?</p>

<p>financial aid is given to you basically if you are poor, phOenix. If you are smart, they give you scholarships.</p>

<p>sogui
ur stats please??</p>

<p>and congrats!!!</p>

<p>haha..i got a CAS scholarship and in the descriptions it said it was based on both merid and need...and i'm definately in muchhh need...13,000 not bad from a school with a bad track record for aid, i cant complain</p>

<p>Iunno, my EFC was 45K and I got a 10K scholarship and like...37K in loans</p>

<p>NYU is extremely unfair with fin. aid. Thankfully I didn't get the short end of the stick, but many did.</p>

<p>my estimated awards are just the same as yours.
but i was curious if this was a good one.
you know,, loans have to be repaid and more than half of the awards are loans. hmmmmmm....... i really need help with figuring out what this financial aid thing means.. T_T i have no clue what's going on. i hear that nyu is not fair with financial aid from a lot of ppl. why is that ???</p>

Read his financial estimate. It's obvious that NYU calls their grants scholarships...</p>

<p>EDIT: In fact, I dont think ANYBODY got a grant. It's all scholarships. Therefore, it's financial aid.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if these carry through all four years? The letter I got looks like it could just cover 06-07......................</p>

<p>i only got $10k per year...but i'm happy.</p>

<p>eji, same with me, but dang......NYU is 47K to begin with!! Even WITH a 10K scholarship, it is still 37K, more than a lot of other colleges like Umichigan and UVA</p>

<p>This is interesting, I cant wait to ask their Fin.Aid office...</p>

<p>I mean I applied to other schools that have MUCH better financial aid programs <em>AND</em> where I was <em>FAR</em> more qualified for a scholarship/grant.</p>

<p>TCU gave my family under 4,000/year in grants and 9,000/year in scholarships...</p>

<p>It would seem unlikely that if we only qualified for 4k per year from such a school based on financial need... I doubt NYU would have any reason to give me 15k per year based on need, especially considering their stinginess.</p>

<p>Perhaps its a mix of need and merit, but 15k is still quite a bit (and does it matter that mine was labeled a "Stern Scholarship"?)</p>

<p>This should be interesting.</p>
