<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>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>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>
<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>
