You will have access to your financial aid award, provided that you filed a CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE and Noncustodial PROFILE/Waiver if applicable (the Profile(s) are required of all students wishing to be considered for scholarship and NYU grant aid) and, if you are a US citizen or eligible non-citizen, you must also file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the relevant deadlines.

If you expect to receive financial support from a source outside of your family, please immediately notify the Office of Financial Support at shanghai.financial.support@nyu.edu of that assistance. Such support may be in the form of government grants, scholarships from community organizations, or other sources.
