Syracuse University believes that a world-class education should be available to every admitted student who wants to attend, regardless of financial need. More than 75 percent of our students receive aid—the majority of it in the form of grants and scholarships that do not have to be repaid.
Paying for college should be manageable for students at every income level. Syracuse University has grants, scholarships, loans and special programs that can be tailored to meet individual needs. Support is even available for summer and study abroad programs. We’ll help you find the aid that works for you.
The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarship Programs works for you. Our goal is to make the financial aid process as simple and transparent as possible, so please share your questions and concerns with us.
If you’re applying for financial aid, review the required applications and due dates. In order to be considered for aid, you must file all of your application materials by the specified dates.
During the 2019-20 academic year, approximately 80 percent of Syracuse University students received some form of financial support totaling more than $414 million. The single largest form of financial aid was more than $295 million awarded to students in the form of Syracuse University grants and scholarships.
Honestly, I didn’t envision myself pursuing higher education because I thought it wasn’t financially feasible. From a very young age, I had to take responsibility. My leadership skills were born out of a necessity to survive and change my circumstances.
