New York Institute of Technology has made a limited number of grants available based on financial need. For maximum consideration, students must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Amounts vary annually depending on the student's financial need and the availability of funds. Students must be making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) toward their degrees, be enrolled full-time in courses applicable to their degree program for the semester awarded, and demonstrate financial need as evidenced by their FAFSA.

The New York Tech Grant is for tuition only and is divided equally between fall and spring semesters. Eligibility for institutional scholarships and grants is limited to students whose Office of Admissions-assigned campus location is Long Island, New York City, or online. The New York Tech Grant cannot be used for summer or for intersession-only periods of attendance. Students who receive discounted tuition rates or other institutional grants (e.g., Athletics Service to School award or Athletics Grant-in-Aid award) may be ineligible for the New York Tech Grant. Additional eligibility criteria can be viewed at Financial Aid – New York Tech Scholarships.
