xian, as the parent of a Canadian grad from NYU, I can tell you that NYU provides no need-based aid to internationals (with the exception of certain types of loans), and that includes Canadians. There are also very limited merit scholarships available for international students. Here is what the NYU b/b states, and it doesn’t appear to have changed in recent years:

“There are a limited number of scholarships for international freshmen, none for international transfers. Since these awards are extremely competitive merit-based awards, not need-based awards, there are no additional forms to complete. The maximum awards granted in the past total less then 1/4 the total annual expenses. As a result we expect that international students will be able to provide the full cost of their education with their own resources.”
