Financial Need
Financial aid eligibility is based on your financial need. Financial need is calculated
by subtracting your Student Aid Index (SAI) from your Estimated Cost of Attendance.
Once your financial need is determined, Stony Brook will work to create a financial
aid package for you. The formula to determine your financial need is:
Your SAI is calculated each year using a formula determined by the US Congress after the filing of a FAFSA. Your SAI is listed on the Student Aid Report (SAR) after your FAFSA has been submitted.
