lindyloohoo, unfortunately, it is very difficult for international students to attend NYU if their family is unable to manage it financially. NYU has always had the policy of very little scholarship money available for freshman internationals, and zero available for international transfers. They also make no guarantee to fully meet need. Were you told otherwise? I'm curious if this has changed, and maybe you were expecting to receive aid? Would be interested to know if this has changed recently. The fact that an international would be precluded from any government aid is another problem. NYU is expensive for anyone but for internationals it is even worse, no doubt about that. Even to obtain your student visa, you will have to provide financial documentation that you are capable of paying for a minimum of one full year's costs. I'm afraid I don't know of any scholarships which are not school specific. I hope your D has other options which are a better financial fit for your family.
