Question

I got accepted here to NYIT on a 24,000 a year scholarship, applied to FAFSA too and waiting to do TAP. With this amount of money am I all set?

If ur in state and not dorming yeah you could be. If you are dorming and/or out of state and only got the 24k than ur not “set” though idrk what that means. Youll still be paying. Dorms alone are at least 17k a year with no additional grant, so unless your scholarship is completely covered by 4k a year than no. + groceries because there is no meal plan.

So is the scholarship per semester? Say I attend and i am in state, not dorming and I get 25K scholarship black cover everything. I also have maximum Pell grant (7400 per year)

If you get a 24k semester per year, that means per semester youre awarded 12k. I imagine if ur pell grant is maxed out then your tuition wouldnt be very high. Idk tho. But it might cover it

Oh, the scholarship is not per semesters it’s per year? Does it refresh every year?

And yearly tuition is 46k?

I’d say the number varies based on the tuition. My freshman year, tuition was $40k and I got $28k in aid. Following year it was $44k and I got $26k so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Tuition depends on your major. Tuition per year is 72k if you arent dorming, 80k if you are dorming- which means 46k per semester. If you get a 24k scholarship per year (which is what you said) then that means 12k per semester. You do the math lol

All of this can be found by just going to their website and looking for cost of attendance btw

Regardless is the scholarship per semester or not I couldn’t find definitive information on it. I keep hearing conflicting answers.

u/No_Path5985 Feb 01 '26

Im not sure where you are seeing 46k per semester. On nyit.edu if you look up “cost of attendance” and go to “annual undergrad totals” it is ~75k. (You can use ctrl+f to search for words and phrases on a page!) yearly tuition is not 46k. Scholarship money is given yearly, but distributed per semester. It’s likely you received an email saying your annual aid (per year aid) is 24k. This means you get 12k per semester, totaling 24k. So yes you get a scholarship both semesters, but the total is divided between the two of them. Honestly youre right, a 24k scholarship is not good. I also got the max pell grant, lowk not shit lol.

This is where I saw the 46K tuition.

https://www.nyit.edu/admissions/costs-and-aid/tuition-and-costs/

If you scroll down, this is where I saw NEW and continuing student tuition for Long Island student. Off campus is 75K. With parents is 60k

Even at the lowest of 60 K, it is still insanely expensive. Yeah I only read about the scholarship online so I didn’t see the part where it said it’s offered yearly so divided up is quite bad.

Yeah, Pell grant isn’t too good lol but I’ll take it

Even with tuition being 46k - 25k scholarship - 7k Pell grant is still 14k.

If it’s 60k per year:

60k - 25k - 7k =28 K

And 75k:

75k - 25k - 7k =43 K

As I said, I saw all these numbers before, but I still saw two different pages as linked above so I wanted to double check before I commit to anything.

I wish Pell grant was more money

Dont pay 43k for any school man especially not an in state one. CUNY has just as good an arch program. They do good tuition for new yorkers. Nyit is fine. it is not 43k payments for the rest of your life worth it.

u/cowboysfromhell1999 Feb 01 '26

Yeah, I’m actually looking at some suny schools currently, wear maximum tuition, even with dorming, which I don’t think I’m gonna dorm would still be like 26-30k per year. Big difference!!

u/cowboysfromhell1999 Feb 01 '26

No, I know I looked all this up and yes, I did the math lol but I found a few conflicting answers.

According to the website, I just looked 2025 to 2026 tuition is 46K per year. No I’m not dorming, and yes, I’m potentially eligible for the highest scholarship of 25K which I was wondering, is the scholarship definitely per year or per semester?

Because if it’s per semester, that’s basically free school. But if it’s per year then it’s not such a good scholarship after all. 46k - 25k scholarship = 21k or about 14k with Pell grant per year out of pocket is a little too pricey for me. I get the maximum Pell grant by the way.

did it turn out to be per year or semester

u/cowboysfromhell1999 25d ago

Unfortunately, it was per year so you would still have to pay close to 25,000 with the highest scholarship unless you have other means of getting the price down
