Financial Aid
NYU Dentistry recognizes that your education is an investment for both you and your family and the Office of Financial Aid is here to help guide you through the application process. Students are not required to submit a separate application for NYU scholarship consideration. All admitted students are automatically reviewed for merit and need-based scholarships. Students granted NYU Scholarships will have their scholarships automatically accepted on their behalf.
Apply to FAFSA
If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and you wish to be considered for federal financial aid, you must complete the 2025-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is also required for Dental Hygiene Scholarship consideration.
All dental students may apply as early as October 1 in the year prior to enrollment. The priority filing deadline is May 1, but the FAFSA application may be completed after the priority deadline. Be sure to specify New York University in the school section of the FAFSA. The federal school code for NYU is 002785.
Additional basic eligibility criteria is available at the Federal Student Aid site.
Scholarships
DDS, Post-Graduate Scholarships
Students admitted to these programs are reviewed for scholarship consideration by the Office of Admissions. Please direct any inquiries to the Office of Admissions at dental.admissions@nyu.edu.
Dental Hygiene Need-based Scholarships
The Dental Hygiene Program offers a number of need-based scholarships; however, individual scholarship applications are not required. The amount of the award depends entirely on demonstrated financial need as displayed through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and is subject to available funds. Renewal of these funds is contingent on the student maintaining financial need as well as maintaining satisfactory academic progress, but annual renewal is not guaranteed.
Dental Hygiene Merit-based Scholarships
All admitted applicants are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships, so that no separate application forms or interviews are necessary. The Office of Admissions notifies scholarship recipients at the time of admission to the university. Merit-based scholarships are subject to available funds. Renewal of these funds is contingent on the student maintaining satisfactory academic progress but annual renewal is not guaranteed.
Total assistance received from all sources (including non-NYU funds and student and/or alternative loans) cannot exceed NYU’s current cost of attendance.
