Do you know if anyone receives a tuition discount for any reason?

It's very unlikely we would be able to afford full tuition for myself and my wife. If I get admitted to NYU (I know, cart before horse) we would be living on her salary as a teacher and mine as a doctoral student. So paying $450-$500/ month is probably not going to happen.

If you don't know the answer to this, who would be good to talk to about it?
