I'm curious if anyone has experience with receiving scholarships from NYU after applying regular decision. Do they notify you about scholarships with your acceptance letter, or does that info come later?
Although NYU is known for being somewhat stingy with aid compared to other private universities, they do offer merit-based scholarships to students who apply Regular Decision. These scholarships are awarded through the admissions process, so you don't need to apply separately for them. Funds are limited, however, and the competition is intense.
If you're selected for a scholarship, the information about it will typically be included in your acceptance packet. This package usually comes a bit later after the initial acceptance notification, and it contains details about your financial aid package, if you submitted the required financial aid documents like the FAFSA and CSS Profile.
Key takeaway: Applying Regular Decision doesn’t prevent you from being considered for scholarships at NYU. The scholarship information will be included in your acceptance packet if you are selected. As with any school, it's important to explore other external scholarship opportunities as well to help fund your education. Best of luck with your application!
