You have chosen Dental Hygiene as a career goal and have begun the process for admission to a program that will lead you through a challenging educational process of intensive training, the culmination of which will be an Associate in Applied Science degree, and upon successful completion of a National Board Examination, a license to practice your chosen profession. There are many steps along the way to reaching your goal, one of the most important being the financing of your dental education. The College of Dentistry at New York University is concerned with your need to understand all the policies and procedures for applying for financial aid. To that end we have prepared this booklet to answer many of the questions you may have concerning the availability of financial aid, and the application process.
Several loans are available through banks or lending institutions.
Details concerning these programs and application procedures are outlined below. Please check the SAR and make corrections if necessary. Follow instructions for mailing if you made corrections. If we do not need any additional information, you will receive an award letter and instruction for mailing if you made corrections. Within 2 to 3 weeks after you receive your award letter from Financial Aid Office, if eligible for a loan, you will be mailed a preprinted Federal Stafford loan application from New York State HESC in Albany.
