Commitment to Affordability

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 (i.e., your parent(s) did not receive a bachelor's degree), you'll automatically receive a $1,000 scholarship.
