NYU cost & aid FAQ
How much does NYU cost after financial aid?
The average family pays about $36,500 per year at NYU after grants and scholarships, against a sticker price of $83,920. Use the calculator to estimate your own net price by family income.
What does NYU cost by family income?
At NYU, the average total net price (tuition, room, board and fees, after aid) is about $17,000 per year for families earning under $30,000 and about $67,000 for families earning over $110,000. Net price rises with income because most aid is need-based.
Does NYU offer free tuition?
Yes. NYU waives tuition for families earning under $100,000 a year. That covers tuition itself; room, board and fees may still apply, so the total cost can be above zero.
Does NYU give financial aid to international students?
Offers need-based aid to international students. International applicants should confirm aid policies directly with NYU's financial aid office.
Does NYU meet full financial need?
Does not meet full need for everyone. Meeting need means the school aims to cover the gap between its cost and what your family can pay, as determined by the FAFSA and CSS Profile.
