Tuition & Fee Scholarships

This additional support is a vital component of our effort, across Stony Brook, to elevate our performance as one of the leading institutions in the United States and, increasingly, internationally. The decision to fund this additional scholarship reflects students’ essential role in making Stony Brook one of the elite research universities in the country, and it exemplifies our commitment to advancing the University’s research mission to new levels of social and cultural impact in the coming decade.

To support your scholarship and your degree attainment, those graduate students with a Graduate Tuition Scholarship (GTS) in the Spring 2021 semester--and going forward--will also receive a scholarship to cover broad-based fees. The policy is not retroactive prior to Spring 2021.

The fee scholarship covers the following fees:  Counseling and Health, Technology,  Transportation, Lifetime Career Development, Academic Excellence, and College  Fee. For more information on these fees, please click here .

NOTE: If you enroll in a number of credits greater than your funding covers, the additional costs will need to be paid by other financial aid or personal payment(s). 

The fee scholarship coverage will be in direct relation to the proportion of your Graduate Tuition Scholarship (GTS).

There is no application process for the fee scholarship that accompanies the graduate tuition scholarship. However, as is the case with the GTS, supported students must be registered full-time according to G-level by Day 15 of classes in order to remain eligible.

G1, G3 = 12 credits is full-time

G2, G4, G5= 9 credits is full-time

Over-enrollment may result in financial liability for the student

No. If you enroll in a number of credits greater than your funding covers, the additional costs will need to be paid by other financial aid or personal payment(s). 

G1, G3 = 12 credits is full-time

G2, G4, G5= 9 credits is full-time

Over-enrollment may result in financial liability for the student

The Fee scholarships will be reflected at the same time as your GTS.  The posting of awards as anticipated aid is a multi-step process involving several offices.  Process-flow improvements for the Fall 2021 semester will enable these offices to post awards quickly, however students should expect to see their awards posted several business days after their Graduate Tuition Scholarship eligibility  has been communicated to the Graduate Finance & Administration Team.

Payment is due by the due date on the Billing Notification Email which is sent to your @stonybrook.edu email address. As a courtesy, Graduate Students are exempt from the first three late fees of the semester. For Spring 2021, those are the February,  March, and April  late fees. For Fall 2021, those are the August, September, and October late fees.  

Because some students on fellowships or training grants may have their fees covered by a grant, this new scholarship applies only to those who do not already receive such coverage.

Contact your Graduate Program Coordinator (GPC). They will be able to confirm whether your name was provided to the Graduate School on a tuition scholarship roster. Additionally, your GPC can follow up with the Graduate School’s Finance & Administration team for a status update.

  Please contact the Office of Financial Aid .

Refunding will be processed once enough aid has disbursed to create a credit.  This occurs after aid in excess of your total amount due has been posted to your account. For further questions, please contact Student Financial Services .
