As I'm finalizing my NYU application, I'm worried about the financial aid deadlines. Can anyone tell me the deadline to submit the FAFSA for regular decision applicants? Financial aid is a big part of my college planning.
NYU's suggested filing date for the FAFSA for regular decision applicants is indeed February 15th. Please keep in mind, this date is not a hard deadline. Applications will still be accepted after that date, but the February 15th date is recommended to ensure you receive the most financial aid possible.
Keep in mind that the FAFSA becomes available on October 1st of the previous year, and it's generally better to submit it sooner rather than later because some aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
Lastly, remember to include NYU’s federal school code (002785) in the 'Colleges to Receive Information' section when you fill out your FAFSA. This ensures that NYU receives your financial aid information for consideration.
Hopefully, you get the financial aid package that makes attending NYU a possibility for you. Good luck with your application!
