I am trying to figure out if the amazing offers are mostly merit or financial aid? Is it possible to get Suffolk close to in state tuition from merit alone? We are not low income, she is Asian/Caucasian, business major. I don’t know if there are any scholarships she could qualify for beyond the auto merit scholarship of $22k. Thanks.
I found this on Suffolk’s website:
Please note: Suffolk University policy does not allow for grant and scholarship funding from any and all sources to exceed the cost of tuition. Suffolk University reserves the right to revoke or revise a financial aid award at any time. We also reserve the right to revise or terminate any university-funded program, discount, etc. at any time.
I take this to mean that financial aid will not be awarded in excess of the cost of tuition (so not to cover room, board, etc), and outside scholarships that, in combination with federal & institutional grants/scholarships, exceed tuition would result in institutional aid being reduced.
$22,000 is the maximum scholarship, per their website. Tuition for 2024-25 is $47,000. Edit per the post below …
So I would say that the answer to your question is you can ask. But since it says that the maximum scholarship is $22,000, it would need to be a grant. If their grants are limited to need based, you’d have to show need. But some schools have grants that aren’t limited to need

I believe the tuition amount you mentioned is per semester, not per year.
Oh, you’re right! I thought it was affordable …I got fooled by the per semester thing. In that case, yes, it’s worth checking. I edited my post.
And the AI on that website is awful! It kept filling in the search for me, but with completely random stuff that had nothing to do with what I wanted. It was difficult to find the 2024-25 tuition page as a result.
I agree about the website. I also had trouble getting to the tuition page.
