Financial aid and scholarships

We know college can be a major expense, but at SUNY Adirondack, we are dedicated to making earning a degree accessible to everyone.

Most full-time college students receive some form of financial aid. 

Financial Aid helps students and their families pay for college expenses, including tuition and fees, housing and food, books and supplies, and transportation. Types of financial aid include grants, scholarships, work study and loans.
