Commitment to Affordability
Suffolk University understands the need for families to make educated decisions about how to pay for college. That’s why we are committed to providing financial assistance on the basis of need and merit through federal, state, and institutional programs. As part of our continuing efforts to provide financial assistance to our students, we are proud to note that:
- 94% of all new undergraduates received financial aid
- $129 million in financial aid to Suffolk students
If you're a first-generation student (your parent(s) did not receive a bachelor's degree), you'll automatically receive a $1,000 scholarship.
