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.

- at a public or private elementary school, secondary school or educational service agency that serves students from low-income families
- for at least four complete academic years within eight years after completing (or ceasing enrollment in) the course of study for which you received the grant
High-need fields offered at the UB Graduate School of Education
These fields are determined by the U.S. Department of Education and not identified by UB. Changes to this list are beyond the control of UB.
