Hi everyone,
There was no forum for NYU BSN applicants, so I thought I'd start one. Hello, is there anybody out there?
@shygstgurl You updated it to 16 hours on the fafsa? I don't remember it asking that but I can go back and check. It's been so long since I did it I can't remember that at all. That would be great if it would make a difference. Do you happen to know if in the summer semester they tend to offer the same amount , or less in the aid package since most people tend to take a lighter course load in the summer? I am super confused by all of this- this is my first time going through the whole process.
@shygstgurl and @ktg80 congrats on getting your financial aid package! I'm still waiting for mine. I know that NYU is notorious for giving out minimal financial aid so I definitely do not expect to get much from them. If you do not mind my asking, how much grant/scholarship money did you guys receive from NYU?
@Kristinebean I got no grants - because of my previous degree I suppose I didn't qualify. I got $7,500 for two semesters for scholarship money. I am grateful for getting something- but considering the cost of the program (and my EFC was 0) I was a little bummed. I also got offered a little bit for work study (which I think we will be too busy to work anywhere) and a small Stafford loan and unsubsidized loan. I am kind of freaking out because everything they offered in my aid package was not enough to cover those two semesters. So... I am kind of just a nervous wreck. Yes, I heard the same about NYU being stingy with aid.
Congrats for everyone who got in! To those who haven't heard any news, don't lose hope they are still in the process of reviewing applications!
@ktg80 I changed the credits on Albert. After logging in and going to the financial aid page, there was a button that said "Anticipated Enrollment". After that it should be easy to change the amount of credits. Unfortunately. I think for the summer semester we will have a different financial package that they will determine later.
For those interested in my Financial Aid Package: I basically didn't get anything besides a $5,000 College of Nursing scholarship and a lot of unsubsidized/federal plus loans shared across two semesters. =// Sucks for me I'm going to have to get the other half of the money from private loans.
