The SU commitment to affordability
Syracuse University has a history of enrolling bright students from diverse economic and social backgrounds. Guided by a belief that an SU education should be available to any student whose performance and potential are a good fit, we've recently made college even more affordable. Here's how:
Meeting financial need
The University works closely with families to build a partnership to make SU affordable. Each year, Syracuse University invests millions of dollars in scholarships attempting to meet the full need of entering freshman for four years. Financial need is determined by the information provided on your CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE and Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) applications.
- Cost of attendance (U.S. citizens/permanent residents)
- Cost of attendance for international students
Increasing aid to middle-income families
Nearly every family finds meeting the cost of college a challenge. Last year alone, nearly two-thirds of SU students received over 206 million dollars in Syracuse University grants and scholarships. This assistance was provided to students from across the economic spectrum, and included enhanced support to middle-income families. In addition, our Scholarship Office can work with you once you are enrolled to find additional funding. Visit the Office of Scholarship Programs for more information.
Planning for manageable debt
Student loans are an expected part of paying educational costs. Syracuse University makes every effort to ensure that students who invest in their education by borrowing student loans graduate with reasonable debt levels. Students are offered personalized loan counseling sessions throughout their college career, especially at the time of graduation. The sessions provide tips to avoid excess loan borrowing and strategies to manage loan debt once he/she enters repayment.
