Both schools are NEED-AWARE for international students (non-US Citizens) per the FA offices. This means that your level of financial need WILL be taken into account during the admissions process, although idk to what extent. I would recommend confirming with the financial aid website or contacting the office that if admitted, your full demonstrated need will be met as an international student.

Also note that schools vary widely when it comes to calculating your need and that the calculators on the website tend to be meant for US Citizens/Permanent Residents (as Barnard’s NPC states in #7 here: https://npc.collegeboard.org/app/barnard ,) and are ESTIMATES, not guarantees.

Barnard: https://barnard.edu/costs-and-aid#:~:text=Barnard%20practices%20need%2Dblind%20admissions,US%20citizens%20and%20permanent%20residents.

NYU: https://www.nyu.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/how-to-apply/international-applicants.html#:~:text=NYU%20does%2C%20in%20fact%2C%20award,submitting%20a%20first%2Dyear%20application.&text=Please%20be%20aware%20that%20scholarships,in%20the%20application%20review%20process.

Hope that helps! Good luck with admissions!
