SUNY Buffalo State

"Without the scholarships, I know I either wouldn't have gone to college or would be graduating with loads of debt."

We’re a SUNY campus, and that means the cost of attending Buffalo State is affordable and about one-third that of a private university. We're here to help you navigate the financial aid process, from budgeting to available aid programs.

Grants are usually given to students based solely on a demonstration of financial need.

Scholarships are based on specific criteria which includes academic merit, financial need, field of study, or a combination.

Work study is available during the fall and spring semesters. On average, students are eligible to work up to 12 hours per week.

Loans are a form of aid that must be repaid after graduation or when attendance drops below half-time status.

This program provides grants of up to $4,000 a year to students who are completing or plan to complete course work needed to begin a career in teaching.

Say Yes Buffalo Scholarships and Grants are available to graduates of Buffalo public and charter schools and are privately funded by individuals, families, businesses, and organizations.
