How much is it going cost me? It’s one of the biggest questions you might have in planning your study abroad experience.
International award: Most full-time international students seeking a SUNY Cortland degree receive a financial award worth $7,500 (Fall 2023 entry) per year, making our tuition among the most affordable for four-year colleges in the State University of New York system.
Partner institution perks: Exchange and non-matriculated students coming for one or two semesters also might be eligible for a tuition waiver through partnership agreements with their home institutions. Regardless of how long you study in Cortland, you’ll soon realize the experience is worth every dollar.
Earn income: You’re also eligible to work on campus up to 20 hours a week for academic departments, administrative offices, recreation facilities or our dining services provider. It’s a common way to earn income while studying here.
Live for free: International students who study at SUNY Cortland for more than one year can apply for positions as resident assistants in residence halls. You will receive free housing and a pay stipend in exchange for your service.
