"Suffolk gives so much to its students, and it gave so much to me in scholarships. My friends and I talk about it all the time: ‘I couldn’t come here because there wasn’t enough financial aid, but I talked to Student Financial Services and they gave me more.’ Every college says they give back their students. At Suffolk, it’s not just a myth. They actually do."

"Academics has always felt like a huge part of my identity, and I wanted to continue my education. I was feeling upset knowing I might have to take a break due to finances. However, Suffolk offered me an award that waived the GRE exam, personal statement, recommendations, and other vital parts of a graduate school application while also providing me with a scholarship."
