<p>While I understand the FA frustrations, this statement is not true. My daughter went to NYU/Tisch for MT and got a substantial four year scholarship that we were told was based both on merit and need (we also had two kids in college at same time). We were NOT low income at that time. Yes we did take out a bunch of loans as well and will be paying them off for many years for two kids at private universities and one of these also at four years of graduate school. I just want to dispel the notion that one must be low income to receive aid. My husband and I are well educated professionals. We are not wealthy and qualify for aid but are not low income either. Both my kids got good aid as we had two in college at the same time. My NYU kid also received 3 smaller scholarships from Tisch in her senior year there in addition to the four year substantial scholarship. While this may not be the norm, it is also not unique to her.</p>
