Established in 1831, NYU has been a pioneer in higher education, prioritizing urban connectivity, professional development, and global perspectives. Today, it stands as a world-renowned research university, with top-ranked academic programs and a highly selective admissions process, admitting fewer than one in eight undergraduates. With campuses in New York City, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai, along with 12 study away sites worldwide, NYU is a leader in global education, boasting the largest number of international students and study abroad opportunities 

among US universities. NYU’s main campuses in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village and downtown Brooklyn foster a strong sense of community. Adjacent to Washington Square Park, academic buildings and residence halls contribute to the campus atmosphere. Students and faculty alike engage with the vibrant city surroundings, which serve as an extension of NYU’s classrooms and offer abundant cultural and experiential opportunities.

• Families with income below $100,000 won’t pay tuition for first-year undergraduates at the NYU New York campus.
• 100% of demonstrated need will be met.
• Scholarships will be adjusted annually to cover tuition increases.
