What's the tuition for Suffolk University?

Hey guys, I've been researching Suffolk University and I'm interested in applying. However, I can't seem to find a clear answer about the tuition and fees for the university. Can anyone give me a breakdown of the costs to attend Suffolk University and what kind of financial aid I might expect?

Sure! As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition for full-time undergraduate students at Suffolk University is approximately $45,000 per year. Keep in mind that this figure may change slightly from year to year and this is only tuition, so there will be additional costs to consider.

In addition to tuition, you'll need to account for room and board, which is roughly $18,000, depending on your housing and meal plan choices. You should also budget for fees, such as the general student fee. There are optional costs, like health insurance, but if you're already covered under a different plan, you can waive this fee. Including books, supplies, and personal expenses, the total annual cost of attendance at Suffolk University could reach around $65,000, although individual costs will vary depending on your specific needs.

Regarding financial aid, most students who attend Suffolk University receive some form of financial assistance. The university offers merit scholarships, which are awarded based on your academic performance, extracurricular involvement, and leadership qualities; you'll be considered automatically for these when you apply. They also participate in federal and state-funded financial aid programs. To get an estimate of the financial aid you might receive, be sure to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after October 1st, and consider using the school's Net Price Calculator to get an idea of the amount of aid you might be eligible for.

Suffolk University also offers need-based grants, work-study opportunities, and access to alternative loans. In addition to filing the FAFSA, you should check for any scholarship opportunities that you may be eligible for through outside organizations, local community groups, and foundations. The more research and applications you put in, the more likely you are to receive financial aid that can help cover the costs of attending Suffolk University.
