How do NYU Shanghai scholarships work for international students?

I’m considering NYU Shanghai as an option for my undergraduate studies. How do the scholarships for international students work there? Are they similar to other NYU campuses or are there unique conditions I should be aware of?

NYU Shanghai, like all NYU campuses, offers financial aid to international students. They review all admitted students for scholarships and grant aid, whether they are domestic or international. Your financial need and academic merit are both taken into consideration when NYU is determining your aid package.

However, it's important to note that the scholarship resources at NYU Shanghai can be quite limited, especially for international students. Because of this, most financial aid packages at NYU Shanghai are comprised of a mix of scholarships, loans, and work-study.

Just like any other university, your financial aid award from NYU Shanghai will first cover your tuition and fees. If your award exceeds your tuition and fees, the remainder can be used for other expenses like housing, meals, textbooks, and personal expenses.

Remember that all financial aid at NYU is handled through the Office of Financial Aid, even for NYU Shanghai students. If you have questions about your financial aid, you should reach out to them directly.

In order to apply for need-based aid, international students must submit the CSS Profile, so keep that in mind. Eligibility for aid is determined on a yearly basis, so you will need to reapply each year.

Lastly, keep your grades up and stay involved on campus, as NYU Shanghai also offers merit-based scholarships that you can apply for once you are a current student. These scholarships can be earned through academic excellence or outstanding contributions to the campus community.
