The overall cost of attendance varies by program of study, with some programs including additional fees. Annual tuition increases help us maintain high-quality instruction, facilities and services, while the University works to keep those increases reasonable. We encourage students and families to plan ahead for yearly cost increases as part of their financial planning for college.

Aid for International Students

Undergraduate Aid: We offer merit-based scholarships in recognition of exceptional academic and personal achievement. The Office of Admissions makes the selection and bases eligibility on academic credentials. Eligible students will be notified at the time of admission. Any questions regarding undergraduate merit scholarships can be sent to orange@syr.edu.

Graduate Aid: Individual departments make decisions around graduate funding. Your professors, faculty advisor, program director or department chair are in the best position to determine if/how you will qualify for merit-based support from your graduate program. You can also connect with your graduate admissions officer for more information.

Note: International applicants who require an F-1 Student Visa to come to Syracuse should review the International Requirements for information and instructions on how to submit sufficient funds.

Note on the Cost of Attendance for International Students: The Cost of Attendance is adjusted for international students based on an estimated increase in transportation and travel expenses for any student whose home of record is not in the U.S.
