So then, according to our calculations, with Syracuse being $59,000/year and SUNY Albany being $22,000/year it would cost about $37,000/year MORE to go to Syracuse, correct?
Slide 3
Very few families can afford to pay the “sticker price” of a college.
In fact, many will have an EFC (Estimated Financial Contribution) of $0.
Slide 5
However, it’s very important to know what type of aid you are
getting.
The most desirable kinds of aid are through Grants and
Scholarships
Slide 7
Grants and Scholarships are “free” money. You do not have to pay them back.
The other kind of aid is through Loans. This is money the colleges (or government) will give you, but you have to pay them back – often
with interest.
Slide 8
Syracuse meets 95% of students need and 73%* of that comes in
the form of Grants and Scholarships or “free money”.
To a family with little to no money, that could mean as much as $40,900/year in free money.

Albany has a much lower sticker price, but they also meet much less need (62%)* than Syracuse and award far less aid
through Grants and Scholarships (42%).
To that same family with little to no money, they may receive only $5,700/year in free money from SUNY Albany
Slide 10*collegeboard.org
Sticker price at Syracuse University =$59,000Potential Grants and Scholarships= $40,900
You’re potential out of pocket expense/year including loans= $18,080
Sticker price at SUNY Albany = $22,000Potential Grants and Scholarships= $5,700
You’re potential out of pocket expense/year including loans= $16,275
Slide 12
The difference of potential out of pocket expense/year
including loans between Syracuse and SUNY Albany
= $1,805/year more at Syracuse
