Suffolk is Committed to Making Education Affordable

We believe a quality education should be available to every student, so we offer a broad range of financial aid solutions including scholarships and grants, loans, and work-study opportunities, including both merit- and need-based aid to eligible students. 

  • We automatically consider applicants for merit-based scholarships, which can be found in your acceptance letter
  • Need-based aid is awarded in the weeks following your merit-based award. To apply for need-based aid, make sure to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) before the recommended filing dates using our school code, 002218
  • Last year, our average financial aid award was $25,313
  • Overall, Suffolk granted $89 million in undergraduate financial aid to our students last year
  • We proudly offer a $1,000 scholarship specifically for qualified incoming first-generation students enrolling in college for the first time. This award is in addition to any other merit- or need-based aid received
  • Internships are an integral part to students' growth and future careers! That's why the Center for Career Equity, Development & Success now offers stipends of up to $3500 to support students participating in non-paying summer internships

A Suffolk Education is Worth it

Suffolk has been recognized for our commitment to making education affordable for our students through financial aid awards and:

  • The New York Times ranked us among the top 25 percent of national higher education institutions when it comes to moving students from the bottom 40 percent of the income bracket to the top 40 percent
  • Washington Monthly magazine named us among the top 200 universities nationwide that welcome and retain students from low-income brackets and from historically underrepresented backgrounds
