I assume you’re asking how they select the top 5%? I would guess they use the criteria for admission from the Common Data Set [NYU > Office of Institutional Research and Program Evaluation > Factbook > View Tables](Factbook) which also includes Essay, ECs and Recommendations in the very important category. I think they evaluate who they don’t want to lose from the applicant pool. Note that the average merit award is like $6K - not much.
