Not just NYU. My school had generous scholarships for freshmen. Then each subsequent year, as your loan limit was allowed to increase, you were expected to take on more loans. You could reapply every year for some of those scholarships but many were need based or one time only. As a first generation student it felt very bait and switch like.

B’s were very common, but with most scholarships requiring a 3.3 average it was easy to slip right under and need debt. I had several friends who lost their scholarships after freshman year.
