Applying for Financial Aid
To complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and College Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile, MD students at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine must submit financial information about themselves, their parents, and if applicable their spouse. Students need the following items:
- federal income tax returns: all pages and schedules filed
- W-2 form(s)
- NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine FAFSA Institutional Code: 002785
- CSS Profile Code: 2305
- Federal Student Aid identification number (FSA ID) issued by the U.S. Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid Office
Students in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as well as international students are not eligible for federal loans but receive our Full-Tuition Scholarship. They may also apply for our need-based Debt-Free Scholarship to pay for attendance costs that exceed tuition, including fees, housing, food, books, and other miscellaneous expenses.
In order for a student to receive and maintain federal or institutional funds, the student must be compliant with NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine’s Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (Kerberos ID and password are required).
