If you experience food insecurity during your time at NYU Law, there are resources to assist you.
The NYU Courtesy Meal Program is a program for students facing short-term food insecurity. Students can receive 75 Dining Dollars added to their NYU ID cards. This program is available for use at all NYU Dining locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Also for short-term food insecurity, you can utilize the Swipe It Forward program at dining halls, which allows meal plan members to donate a swipe at the cashier. A voucher is placed in a bowl at the register, and a student who needs a meal can obtain and redeem the voucher from a cashier during checkout.
For ongoing food insecurity that surpasses the resources provided by Courtesy Meals or the Swipe It Forward initiative, please contact the Office of Student Affairs, who can assist you in more long-term resources through the Office of Financial Education.
In addition, there are several NYC resources for food insecurity nearby campus.
