View Your Financial Aid Award and Cost of Attendance
Information about Tuition, Fees, Room and Board Costs:
The 2019-2020 cost of attendance is available for students with a financial aid award by logging into NYUAlbert and following the steps below. For more information on the cost of attendance and the types of financial aid you may have been awarded, you may also click the link “NYS Fin Aid Information Sheet”.
If you applied for financial aid by all stated deadlines, you may view your award in our online student information system, NYUAlbert:
- Select the “Applicant” tab
- Next, select “Financial Aid”
- Next, select “Accept/Decline Awards”
- Finally, select “2020” to view your financial aid estimate* and related award messages. Please read the award messages carefully.
- All scholarships and grants are automatically accepted on your behalf. If you would like to utilize loans or work study, these need to be accepted by you, the student.
Information about Scholarships and Grants:
- If you received a scholarship or grant, we assume that you will want these awards and have accepted them on your behalf.
- NYU scholarships renew at the same amount each year as long as the renewal criteria is met.
- In order to maintain your scholarship you must adhere to future award deadlines and meet satisfactory academic progress standards.
Information about Federal Aid:
- Parent PLUS Loans are contingent on credit approval.
- We encourage you to become knowledgeable about responsibilities associated with any federal loans you pursue. This includes interest rates, repayment expectations and information about other options that may assist you in financing your education, such as payment plans.
- If you are a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or eligible non-citizen and have not been awarded federal financial aid, you will be reviewed for federal aid upon successful submission of the FAFSA using NYU’s school code (002785). Use of the FAFSA IRS Data Retrieval Tool is preferred whenever possible.
- If you believe that you have already filed the FAFSA and have not been awarded federal financial aid, please log in to the FAFSA and be sure that you included NYU’s school code (002785) and that all signatures on the FAFSA are complete. Also, if the social security number that you entered on the FAFSA does not match the social security number entered on the Common Application, you will need to reach out to the Office of Financial Aid to update your account.
If you have any questions about your financial aid award, please contact the Office of Financial Aid directly at +1 212-998-4444 or by email at financial.aid@nyu.edu.
*Award Estimates: NYU financial aid packages are awarded based on the assumption that the information provided on the financial aid applications is accurate. If your financial aid application is selected for verification, your award package will be reviewed and may be updated based on any changes to your application data.
