Rewarding Achievement
College is an investment in your future, and SBU partners with you to make attending college with us as affordable as possible. Scholarships are one way we make an SBU education possible for outstanding students and students who bring special abilities to our campus that benefit the university community as a whole. Check with admissions to explore what scholarship opportunities may be open to you. Our staff is here to help you in every way we can.

and develop a student’s special skills.
