| Tripletreat, the NYU Trustee scholarship is first based on merit/talent and then need plays a factor in the total amount. You asked how much they offered in grants...that IS the grant portion of the financial aid package and then there are loans, JUST like at CMU and at every college she applied to. Each of them gave some in scholarship or grant. Some, like Tisch, Ithaca, Syracuse, Penn State, and Boston Conservatory also had merit or talent scholarships without the need part that she got. Some combined that in the package and some wrote it out separately. In the end, NYU was one of the better packages though some others came close with their scholarship or grant offers. I'd say the biggest scholarships or grants came from NYU, CMU, Syracuse, Emerson, and Ithaca. Boston Conservatory's was still substantial. Penn State's was not nearly as much as the others (still really liked Penn State, however). |
