Financial Aid Opportunities at Adelphi University

I'm considering applying to Adelphi University but need to know more about their financial aid options. Does anyone have experience with how Adelphi handles aid and scholarships, or tips on applying for them?

Adelphi University has a commitment to affordability and offers a variety of financial aid options for students. This includes grants, federal loans, work-study opportunities, and scholarships.

First, you will want to complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as possible. The FAFSA is used to determine your eligibility for federal grants, loans, and work-study jobs, and Adelphi's school code is 002666.

In addition to federal aid, Adelphi offers a selection of scholarships for incoming freshmen. Many of these are based on your academic achievements in high school. For instance, the Adelphi University Academic Merit Scholarships are granted to admitted freshmen who have excelled academically, regardless of financial circumstances. There isn't a separate application process for these scholarships; students are automatically considered when they apply for admission.

Adelphi also offers a variety of other scholarships based on talent, program of study, and various other factors. Some of these are the Robert B. Willumstad School of Business Scholarships, Scholars Program in The Sciences Scholarships, and Dept. Of Theatre Talent Scholarships, among others. These may require separate applications.

Keep in mind, it's important to regularly check the Adelphi University Financial Aid website for updates and additional scholarship opportunities. You may also want to reach out directly to their Financial Aid Office for personalized guidance.

Also, keep in mind local scholarships (in your town, through your school, or in your state) and national scholarships. You can look at the Scholarship Search tool on Appily to help you find these opportunities with a wider search.
