In order to apply for financial aid from NYU, you must complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This is a great way to become eligible for many forms of federal aid and scholarships, so we encourage you to submit the FAFSA no matter what your plan to fund your education.
Master's degree, advanced certificate, advanced diploma, and doctoral applicants who are US citizens or permanent residents may submit the FAFSA to receive consideration for NYU financial aid packages.
Full-time PhD applicants who submit completed applications for admission by the December 1 deadline, regardless of country of citizenship, will receive consideration for scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships. The FAFSA is not required but is encouraged for US citizens and permanent residents.
The process of filling out the FAFSA is different for every prospective student, but here are a few things to keep in mind to make the experience a little smoother:
When the form prompts you for a Federal School Code, use 002785 for New York University.
You must submit a FAFSA each year to determine and renew your financial aid.
We strongly encourage you to use the FAFSA Data Retrieval Tool whenever possible, which allows you to import your tax information into the FAFSA directly from the IRS.
For help in completing the FAFSA, call 800-4-FED-AID or visit the FAFSA website.
