Can I receive financial aid if I am an International student?

In order to receive federal or state aid, you must be a U.S. citizen, or an eligible non-citizen.  International students can be considered for institutional aid and may qualify for certain types of loans, which require a credit-worthy, U.S. citizen to co-sign.

Can I work on campus?

Your financial aid package may contain a Federal Work-Study award which allows you to work on campus.  Students who do not qualify for work-study, can apply to work under Suffolk University’s student employment program.

Will I have to borrow loans to go to school?

More than likely.  Student loans are very common among students attending college.  Our advice: Student loans are the best investment you’ll ever make!  The benefits gained through your college education will far exceed your student loan payments.
