The Salisbury University 财政援助办公室 & 奖学金 understands that financing your education is one of the most important life decisions you and your family face. 起初, 这似乎让人难以承受, but we can help you secure resources that will make your college education affordable.
Investing in a college education often requires students and their families to look beyond their own resources for assistance. Salisbury students can receive funds for college in the forms of 奖学金, 奖助金, 贷款, work study and assistantships. These awards are based on your financial need and/or academic record.
最后, we encourage all prospective students and their families to evaluate SU's net price not the official cost of attendance or "sticker" price. The net price reflects the actual out-of-pocket expense after removing 奖助金, 奖学金, and other educational benefits from the "sticker" price. 点击这里使用SU 新生净价格计算器 or Transfer Net Price Calculator 进行下一步.

What Are Some of The Best Ways to Fund a Higher Education at SU?
- Complete the FAFSA every year! Many families mistakenly think they don't qualify for aid and prevent themselves from receiving financial aid by failing to apply for it. 除了, there are a few sources of aid such as unsubsidized 工作人员ord and PLUS 贷款 that are available regardless of need. The FAFSA form is free and no matter your income we encourage all students and families to complete the FAFSA
- Estimate how much income your family can set aside every month and then multiply that amount by 48 months (i.e. 四年制学位). Take a look at Maryland 529 or other state tax-advantaged savings plans designed to encourage saving for college.
- 探索 academic merit based 奖学金 提前申请. Visit SU's scholarship program page for more information.
- Take a look at private 奖学金 on websites like:
- 探索 the federal Pell grant and Direct loan programs available to U.S. 公民.
- 最后, if necessary you can research private student 贷款 but we encourage students and families to do their homework on this type of loan given many of the benefits within the federal loan program are not available in some private loan programs.
