Notes for International Students: Please read notes on glacier forms and grant taxing below. 

Glacier Form: It is the job of the international student to ensure that their Glacier Tax Prep profile is complete before receiving grant payments. We encourage international students to create their Glacier profile account after applying for the grant and read more about payment methods here. 

For additional questions about Glacier tax forms and their Glacier account information, students can email : nyu.glacier@nyu.edu.

International Students & Grant Taxing: International students should be advised that their grants may be subject to international tax treaties that are established by their home countries. This means that taxes may be withheld from their grant amounts, resulting in a significant reduction of the grant. Students can seek the money back from their home countries’ tax returns.
