Eligibility Requirements for Renewal of Aid

Need based financial aid recipients must reapply for funding each year and can generally expect to receive the same level of funding (although the composition may change).
 

FAFSA

The Department of Education launched the 2024-25 FAFSA form and the FAFSA is now consistently available to be completed and corrected.  

Suffolk University remains committed to providing an affordable education to our students. We strongly encourage all eligible students to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible.

As always, if you need assistance you can contact the Office of Student Financial Services.

See the 2024 - 2025 changes

Recipients must:

  • Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the academic year in which you will be enrolled
  • Complete Verification process if required to do so
  • Family financial situation remains similar
  • University funding levels remain the same
  • Application deadlines are met
  • Satisfactory academic progress is maintained
  • Enrollment status remains the same

Note: Additional funding received through the appeal process may not be renewed every year.

Renewal of merit based aid does not require an application. A student must maintain the required GPA in order to continue to receive funding.
