NYU is notoriously chintzy with their finaid packages. They also often give loans vs. grants and/or scholarships.

NYU is notorious for also gapping which means that you go into this knowing that the school will not meet 100% of your financial need even with loans.

Being a NYS resident, you income willnot make you eligible for pell, you may get a few $ from TAP, a few $ and a BIG loan.

If you look up on of the financial aid calculators (try Dartmouth's fin. aid website, Williams, or princeton review) to get an idea of how you look.
