FEDERAL STUDENT AID CHANGES COMING IN 2026-27
On July 4, 2025, new federal legislation was passed which will make changes to certain federal student aid programs starting July 1, 2026. Please note that there are no changes for 2025-26: Current students and parents will not see any changes to their federal loans or grants this academic year. NYU is reviewing the implications of this legislation and will share updates as more information becomes available from the U.S. Department of Education.
NYU's Office of Financial Aid is here to make sure you understand your options so that you can make informed decisions and focus on what matters most: your education.
Learn about the financial aid application process for undergraduate applicants and their parents. Eligibility, deadlines, and requirements vary depending on a few factors, including whether you are applying as a first-year or transfer applicant.
For first-year undergraduate students admitted to the New York campus, NYU will meet 100% demonstrated financial need.
Learn about the different types of federal aid and assistantships that may be available, when to file the FAFSA, and more. As a graduate applicant, merit and school-specific scholarships will be determined by your graduate or professional school after you apply for you admission. In the majority of cases, you will be automatically reviewed for those opportunities.
Whether you're an undergraduate or graduate student, the Office of Financial Aid is here to help you understand how to renew your aid year, explore additional funding opportunities, and learn how financial aid can support study away.
