<p>user,</p>
<p>Do not be hopeless. NYU still has to look at your EFC (Expected Family Contribution) and your merits as a student at NYU. Pell grants and TAP awards have their own guidelines based on the student and family income. So, NYU might give you something, though NYU is not known to be generous with students in terms of FA in general.</p>
<p>However, you got to submit FAFSA now and mention that while the FAFSA was completed early, by error it was not forwarded to NYU earlier.</p>
