Office of Financial Aid
The Office of Student Financial Aid at SUNO is dedicated to helping students access and secure the financial support they need to achieve their educational goals.
At Southern University at New Orleans, the Office of Student Financial Aid is committed to providing students with comprehensive financial aid packages tailored to their individual needs. These packages may include assistance from federal, state, and institutional sources. We also offer counseling in Default Prevention and Student Loan Debt Management to help students make informed financial decisions.
To be considered for federal and state aid, students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1 each year. Financial assistance is awarded based on eligibility and the information provided in the Student Aid Report (SAR) or Institutional Student Information Report (ISIR), in accordance with federal, state, and university guidelines.
Because financial aid is based on individual family circumstances, SUNO does not publicly disclose individual awards. Instead, each student will receive a personalized financial aid package that outlines a proposed annual budget and the total cost of attendance.
SUNO is committed to ensuring equal access and opportunity for all students in pursuit of higher education. Those who view college as a pathway to success will find the Office of Student Financial Aid to be a valuable and supportive resource.
Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
