<p>I think you over simplify “There are plenty of students at NYU who do not recieve aid because they never attempted to get scholarships. Some students dont want the stress of scholarships and would rather have loans.”</p>
<p>I don’t know anybody like that. Everyone I know tried for scholarships weherever we could. I found I missed out on lots of scholarships because they all ask about parents income. Although I would consider my family middle income apparently the scholarship folks deemed there were others more pressing financial need.</p>
<p>I find among my friends at NYU. The less money you show on the NYU fin aid app/fafsa, the better your fin aid award was.</p>
