School Counselors

Students aren’t cookie-cutter. And Suffolk isn’t a one-size-fits-all university.

We see the drive in each one of our students, and we help them achieve their potential as learners, working professionals, and well-rounded citizens of the world. We proudly welcome students with all kinds of dreams and all kinds of backgrounds. Once they’re here, they unlock a world of opportunities, thanks to our student-centered campus resources—including our robust Center for Career Equity, Development & Success—and our exciting downtown housing options.

We’re committed to offering students a truly transformative education and to keeping it as affordable as possible.

Our Commitment to Affordability

Suffolk students gathered for a picture on the East Boston waterfront.

Suffolk is well known for educating students who are first-generation, low-income, and/or from historically underrepresented backgrounds. We work tirelessly to make the Suffolk experience affordable for all.

Financial Aid

At Suffolk, we're committed to making a private education accessible to all students and that's why 95% of our students receive some form of need-based financial aid and/or merit scholarship.

Summer Career Development Stipend

Internships should be for everyone, not a privileged few. To better support students holding non-paying summer internships, we will offer stipends of $3,500.

Our Mission of Granting Academic Access

University Honors Program

College of Arts & Sciences and Sawyer Business School students enjoy special opportunities to work with top faculty members, conduct their own research, prepare for graduate school, and build their professional networks. 

Accepting Qualified Applicants

Suffolk’s founding mission is to offer greater academic access and opportunity to applicants. That’s just as true now as it was when we opened our doors in 1906. We accept a large portion of our applicant pool precisely because we strongly believe that—with enough motivation, commitment, work, and support from our campus community—every student can succeed.

INTO Pathways

Language shouldn’t be a barrier to academic success. Through our partnership with INTO, we offer select students intensive English language skills–based courses to help them transition into the greater Suffolk community and adapt to university life in the United States.  

Our expert admission team is happy to answer your questions in person! Please stop by or schedule an appointment with us. If you prefer, you can also reach us by phone, email, or Zoom.

No matter how you get in touch, we’re here to help!
