Financial aid at NYU Shanghai may take the form of university scholarships, federal aid (for US citizens/official permanent residents of the United States), or outside scholarships. NYU Shanghai considers all students for scholarships regardless of citizenship.
For most undergraduates, eligibility for merit-based scholarship is determined based on your prior academic strengths. Need-based grant aid is determined on your demonstrated financial need, if you apply for financial aid.
Yes. NYU Shanghai offers limited merit only scholarships, which are determined based on your prior academic strengths. No additional application is required to be considered for merit only scholarship.

NYU requires financial information from both biological parents in order to determine and distribute NYU Shanghai grants equitably. In some circumstances, the Noncustodial parent PROFILE requirement may be waived. If you do not or cannot have contact with your noncustodial parent you may submit the Noncustodial Parent PROFILE waiver request.
The waiver request application can be found on the NYU Financial Aid website under Applications and Forms at http://www.nyu.edu/admissions/financial-aid-and-scholarships/applications-and-forms.html.
Please note: A noncustodial parent’s unwillingness to submit the noncustodial PROFILE is not an acceptable reason to submit a waiver request.
It is important that you read the instructions page carefully and submit all required documentation as incomplete waiver requests may not be considered.
No. You do not need to submit tax documents with your financial support application(s). The NYU Shanghai Office of Financial Support will notify you if any supporting financial documents are required. We will let you know what is needed and provide you with the deadline for submission of this information.

The preliminary cost of attendance budget represents the estimated annual cost of education for full-time undergraduate students at NYU Shanghai in US dollars for the academic year. It includes tuition, room and board (which may vary based on a student’s room selection), health insurance, personal expenses, books, and many student life activities.

Direct Costs – Costs that you will be charged by the University such as tuition, registration, and services fees, health insurance, room and books for each semester. Your financial aid (scholarship and/or grant) will apply to those charges first. If your semester’s financial aid is more than your direct costs then that would generate a refund. If you are eligible to receive a refund, you could use that refund to help cover indirect expenses that you may incur during the semester (see below for indirect cost information).
Students will be sent electronic bills (e-Bills) each semester of enrollment. The Office of the Bursar sends notifications approximately 30 days prior to the semester due date. Fall e-Bills are generally available in mid-July and spring e-Bills are generally available in early December. Students will be required to submit payment prior to a semester start date. Fall payment is generally due in early August, and spring payment is generally due in early January. For more information about your e-Bill or refund, please review the information at http://shanghai.nyu.edu/academics/tuition.
Indirect Costs – Educational costs such as estimated travel, supplies, and personal expenses that you may incur during the academic year. These indirect costs will vary for each student. Indirect costs are not charged through NYU Shanghai.
No. However, if your semester’s financial aid is more than your semester’s e-bill (direct costs) then that would generate a refund. If you are eligible to receive a refund, you could use that refund to help cover indirect expenses (i.e. travel) that you may incur during the semester.
