Stony Brook In-State Tuition

Hi everyone! I'm considering applying to Stony Brook University and wanted some information on their in-state tuition costs. Can anyone provide me with the current figures? Are there any specific requirements to qualify as an in-state student? Also, is financial aid readily available at Stony Brook?

Hello! Stony Brook University, part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system, offers competitive in-state tuition rates for New York residents. As of the 2023-2024 academic year, the in-state tuition cost was $7,070 per year, not including fees, room, and board expenses. Keep in mind that tuition rates can fluctuate, so it's always a good idea to double-check costs with Stony Brook or on their website.

To be eligible for in-state tuition, you have to be a legal resident of New York State for at least 12 months before the semester for which you're applying. Generally, schools are strict with residency requirements, so make sure you can demonstrate a continuous residence in New York with necessary documentation (driver's license, bills, rental contracts, etc.).

Financial aid is available at Stony Brook, as it is at most institutions. You should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for various forms of support, such as grants, loans, and work-study opportunities. Need-based and merit-based scholarships are also available.

Remember to check the Net Price Calculator on Stony Brook’s website, which can provide you with a personalized estimate of your potential financial aid package and the out-of-pocket costs you might incur.

Don't hesitate to reach out to Stony Brook's financial aid office if you have any further questions or require additional information regarding financial aid, scholarships, and residency requirements. Good luck with your application!
