20k/year is a pretty nice amount
What were your stats?
Wow, so many 20K/year. What were the stats needed to get this scholarship?
I have 3.73 gpa and 19 TS=AA on DAT
So the scholarship is more of a need based than merit based?

LOL. No, it's merit.
how could it be need based if nobody has filled out their FAFSA?...
I mean you could have filed for "disadvantaged student status" but the scholarship was soley merit based. Your gpa is impressive, and maybe you went to a challenging college that NYU took note of or you have several publications.
I think koreano just meant his DAT score was higher. These merit scholarships are awarded after a hollistic evaluation.
Your previous post seemed to hint that there may be other factors taken into consideration besides just GPA and DAT, that's all. The AADSAS application does have a disadvantaged applicant section where it asks you if you're a disadvantaged applicant, description of where you grew up, the income level of household, etc.
Congrats on receiving the scholarship though, your GPA shows you deserved it.

That is amazing, Congrats! What are your stats? Also, do you feel the 25k was enough to convince you to attend NYU?

Thanks man!

It's enough to make me seriously consider NYU but the costs are still way too high when you consider the cost of living in this area as well as housing costs.

yes, I know what you mean. I am in the same situation as you. It is because that I already live in NYC that I am going to NYU.
Is there anyone who got the scholarship and is accepting? From what I've seen, most are declining saying that the cost is still too much.

Wish they offered me a scholarship 🙁
Well, people are turning them down. Perhaps you will get one after January, or even after april.
I got 20K a year my gf got 25K a year. We both plan on attending. Sure living is expensive but there are definitely ways to get the cost down. My uncle does real estate in NY and he says he can find me a place in midtown queens (40 minute commute) for around 1000/month. I'm really excited to attend!
That is really cute. You two will be attending together. 🙂
Would you mind sharing you and your gf's stats? Thanks!
Sure I had a 3.8 and 21. She had a 4.0 and like a 23 I believe.
Actually, they don't anymore. They used to give out 10 full rides years ago. But they stop doing that because it cost the school too much money. 25k is the most they give out this year. Also, the school have ZERO need based grants. So it is all loans after that. I heard this from someone who works in the school when I dropped off my deposit. Those who got 25 or 20k should be very happy. This makes me wish I attended dental school years ago. Arg!

just got the scope that NYU only gives out 20 scholarship a year. So consider yourself EXTREMELY competitve to have gotten them.
I heard it was based on merit but also of you're the first member of your family to go to college. Any word if the scholarships that got declined will be redistributed?
Wow that is crazy! I figured that they gave out many more than that. I felt grateful before but now so much more 😀
I'm way late on this forum but did you receive the scholarship with your acceptance letter or later on?

Are these 20k scholarships still a thing in 2020?
Strategy that I recommend to my students: as soon as you are accepted, call the school and inquire about scholarships as you have multiple offers to consider. There is a pool of $$$ that is reserved for those that ask. In other words, if the school wants you, they will offer you $$$ that wasn't on the table during your acceptance.
