History
Founded in 1831, New York University is now one of the largest private universities in the United States. Of the more than 3,000 colleges and universities in America, New York University is one of only 60 member institutions of the distinguished Association of American Universities.
From a student body of 158 during NYU's very first semester, enrolment has grown to more than 40,000 students attending 18 schools and colleges at five major centres in Manhattan and in sites in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. Today, students come from every state in the union and from 133 foreign countries. The faculty, which initially consisted of fourteen professors and lecturers (among them artist and inventor Samuel F. B. Morse), now totals over 3,100 full-time members.

Scholarships offered
If you believe you will need financial assistance to enable you to attend NYU, you are strongly encouraged to apply for financial aid. Although NYU is not able to meet the full need of every student, they do everything possible to coordinate adequate resources to enable you to invest in a higher education at NYU.
Scholarships and grants are types of gift aid that do not have to be repaid. They may take the form of university scholarships, federal or state grants, or outside scholarships.
Descriptions of university-wide and school-based scholarships at NYU for which you may qualify are provided in the Undergraduate Admissions area of the NYU website. All admitted undergraduate students are automatically considered for these programmes based on academic merit.
Graduate students are usually offered scholarships for each separate academic year as determined by their individual schools within NYU.
