NYU MSW Finances

[Quinoa96]

Hey everyone! I recently just received my first graduate school acceptance from NYU. I am extremely excited about the entire thing, however I wanted more insight about finances and managing life in New York. NYU gave me a tuition award of $17,000 a year, but I am also not sure if that's even a good amount to be awarded. I know that regardless I'd need to find an additional source of income. For the sake of insight, do you all think that $17,000 a year is a good amount to get from this institution? I am still waiting on other schools to hear back, but I'd just like to hear some opinions. Thank you so much!

I got into NYU as well with only a $9,000 dollar award. The amount they gave you is significant for their institution since they typically do not give more than 10,000. If you can find other scholarships in conjunction with their award, then it could definitely be doable. Also congratulations!

Thank you so much for the insight! I am extremely excited about the opportunity. This whole process is so confusing, and there's so much to consider. Good luck to you!
