How do "normal" people get through NYU, financially?

Confeh, I do not think you will be eligible for Staffords, Pell, Perkins or Parent Plus (for your parents). That will make it very difficult for you, if your parents have not saved for your education or if they can’t help you significantly. If you have great stats and need, you may receive some scholarships from NYU, probably no more than $20,000 per year. That leaves a bigger gap then you can possibly earn with part-time or summer jobs. The sad reality is that for you as an international student, it is more difficult to go to school in the United States because many financial aid programs are restricted to U.S. citizens. This is fair because these programs are funded by, or subsidized by, the government and underwritten by U.S. tax dollars.
