Scholarship Recipients Share Their Stories
During the 2006 Commencement ceremony in Washington Square Park last May, President Sexton reminded graduates of a different era in the University’s history. He reminisced about a time when the University was still in its formative stages, when the graduating class had only three members, when there were no dorms, and when Greek life dominated social affairs. “Brace yourself,” he warned, before adding the final, and perhaps most jarring juxtaposition. “Tuition was $80 a year. Though we were $10 cheaper than Columbia, NYU, as usual, charged an additional $10 for library and incidental fees,” he said.
Although $80 seems nominal compared to the cost of an education today, it was considered a hefty investment for the class of 1833. Even then, the University was keenly aware of the financial burdens students faced to earn a college degree, and pledged to make NYU an affordable alternative for the burgeoning middle class.

NYU Students Have Brains and Brawn!
This summer, NYU earned one more trophy to add to its growing collection. The Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) named NYU the 2006 Institution of the Year for its excellence in collegiate academic and athletic performance. The annual award, whose previous recipients include Georgetown, Princeton, and Harvard, honors the institution with the brightest and most athletically talented students. The winning school is selected from one of the ECAC’s 320 colleges and universities. With 169 student-athletes with GPAs above 3.5 coupled with outstanding performances on the field, NYU was judged this year’s best.
 In addition to winning the Institution of the Year Award, three NYU athletic teams captured ECAC championships in 2006: men’s swimming and diving, women’s swimming and diving, and men’s golf. With this winning combination of physical and intellectual fitness, NYU is hard to beat — both on the field and off!
