<p>Here is the webpage from NYU regarding merit aid and scholars programs. This first link is for university-wide programs:</p>
<p><a href=“Undergraduate Admissions”>Undergraduate Admissions; </p>
<p>The MLK scholarship is need based to the highest achieving students. If you are highly achieving, but without need…don’t expect to get it.</p>
<p>This second link shows CAS specific programs:
[NYU</a> > Undergraduate Admissions > Financial Aid > Scholarships](<a href=“Undergraduate Admissions”>Undergraduate Admissions)</p>
<p>Note that the scholar’s program does not mention merit aid…my understanding is that the merit aid has been discontinued.</p>
<p>NMF may get merit aid. Intel finalists do as well. Women in Science is need based.</p>
<p>Thsi info is in-line with what I have heard from the financial aid office.</p>
