Federal Financial Aid
Students can pursue federal financial aid to help fund further their education. NYFA advises applicants seeking NYFA federal financial aid and assistance to work with the financial aid office. It has been our experience that applicants and families who take the time to understand the financial aid process benefit by receiving the maximum amount of financial aid for which they are eligible.
