Paying for Your Education
At New York University (NYU), we don't want money to stand in the way of your success.That's why many of our students receive some form of financial assistance to help pay for their education. As a student at NYU, you will likely access one or more types of financial aid that include: scholarships, grants and work-study grants.
How Aid Is Awarded
Whatever your financial situation, you can apply for financial aid.For students who file on time, NYU will provide all the financial help that you need based on your family's ability to pay, which is figured out from the information record on the CSS Profile.When we work out how much help you need, we also take into account whether you can get other grants and find employment.
Deadlines and Applications
To be considered for need-based aid, you must file all financial aid applications on time.The majority of undergraduate students who apply for financial aid receive need-based aid.Deadlines and requirements change depending on whether you're applying through the SPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies, or as a student receiving a second bachelor's degree.For more information about the requirements and the types of financial aid you may be able to receive, please click your admission type below.

Ben, a licensed clinical social worker, and his wife Heather both worked two jobs to support their family with two young children, and often lived from hand to mouth.But Ben's own lack never prevented him from being the generous person that he is.When he saw families in his casework who couldn't afford basic necessities, he'd call Heather and Heather always said yes to help them.Then he decided to do more.
In 2018, Ben started gathering winter coats and foods in his office, and received donations from local families and community groups.He and his colleagues would then deliver donations to their clients.Heather also put out a collection box in the gym where she worked.“It makes me feel so good to help families that we know are in need,” Ben told Heather.“I think we should try to do even more!”
The next year, the couple named their effort Benny's Bodega and made it a public welfare organization.After receiving generous donations, they moved operations to a 1,200-square-foot retail store space.Now “customers” who are often working people keeping their head above water arrive at what looks like a store, and show proof of employment and a photo ID to shop at Benny's, always free of charge.Visits are allowed twice monthly, and veterans (退伍军人) and senior citizens can visit once a month.Benny's Bodega helped 1,700 people each month in 2024 alone.
Heather and Ben are thrilled that they can help.“This is something that I need to do,” says Ben, “something that I feel I am put on this earth to do.” Adds Heather, “Ben would always say that giving back and volunteering are actually the most selfish things you can do because of the joy you get from helping change someone's life.”

Centuries ago, the music of the Hízaqv language echoed across a territory of rough islands, windswept beaches and thick forests.And then, the lands now in the western reaches of Canada fell quiet.Wars with neighbouring nations and disease brought the language to the edge of extinction.Today, only seventy fluent speakers remain.In some remote communities, where they don't have high schools, students are moved hundreds of kilometres away to larger cities to complete their studies, away from their families and their land.And so the loss continues there.
Mamakwa is a Hízaqv, who was punished for speaking his mother tongue in school.Last year, he became the first provincial lawmaker to give a speech in Toronto legislature (议会).More than 1,000 guests attended.“For community leaders who were there, it was very emotional for them.They had tears in their eyes — not because of what I said but because they were hearing their language in a place where it was never supposed to be spoken,” he said.Mamakwa is now focusing his attention on the remaining systems that reduce the ability to speak the first languages of the land.
Recently, there has been a cheerful sense of hope.Community efforts have taken on a renewed intensity.New resources have been poured into preservation and education, including compiling (汇编) vast information from the current fluent speakers.Therefore, Hízaqv culture is being normalized for kids in a much deeper way now than it ever was before.
“You never want to lose the body of knowledge and language that you had as a people.But our language is also growing.There are words emerging and concepts emerging that are being included in our language to reflect the new reality we live in, and the new way that we live and work and be together.That's a good thing,” said Mamakwa.

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned about their own appearance and actions too much.Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably.A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions.In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people, who have low self-respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others.They need faith that they are doing “the right thing”.Shy people are very sensitive to criticism.It makes them feel inferior.They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise.A shy person may respond to praise with a statement like this one: “You're just saying that to make me feel good.I know it's not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-respect.It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us has his or her own characteristics.We are interested in our own personal ways.The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
(2025·黄冈三模)Anxiety is often seen as a negative emotion, but some psychologists now think a certain amount of anxiety can be useful.__36__ For example, mild anxiety sharpens focus and motivates problem-solving.A study even found that slightly anxious people generate more creative solutions than calm individuals.
A concept called the Yerkes-Dodson curve explains it.It shows that when people have very high levels of anxiety, they don't tend to perform well.__37__ But at very low levels of anxiety, performance also suffers: They might be so relaxed that they rush through the project to surf the Internet.
“__38__ Here, anxiety is really adaptive, or helpful,” says Shannon, a clinical psychology professor.“At that middle-ground point, anxiety tells you, ‘This is important. I should pay attention to it. I should prepare for it.’”
Some people try to suppress anxiety, but this often backfires (事与愿违).__39__ For instance, avoiding nervous feelings during a presentation may cause mental blocks.Instead, acknowledging anxiety as a signal to prepare can transform it into a tool.
Anxiety can help narrow attention and heighten focus and detail orientation.__40__ In some studies, people who felt anxious came up with more and better solutions to problems than those who felt calm.
In a word, you shouldn't want to live completely free of anxiety, because you need anxiety to get things done.
A.Its benefits depend on intensity.
B.Trying to ignore it may worsen the situation.
C.This approach only increases the discomfort.
D.There's actually the sweet spot in the middle.
E.Extreme anxiety can cause physical symptoms.
F.It facilitates creativity and motivates us to solve problems.
G.They might be so worried about a big work project that they avoid getting started.
