  • Financial Aid

    Financial aid (e.g., loans) administered through the State of New York and the federal government, for students with financial need, is only available to domestic students.

    FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)

    Domestic applicants should apply for financial aid by filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online. The FAFSA is an application for student aid that collects the basic information needed to determine your eligibility for all of the financial aid programs sponsored by the federal government.

    You may receive detailed information by contacting UB's Office of Financial Aid.
