Our financial aid programs are designed to offer solutions that make achieving your educational goals possible. Financial Aid can help students get a world-class education at a great value. As a public college in The City University of New York (CUNY) system, our tuition is a fraction of the cost of attending a private college or university of comparable quality.
The Office of Fellowships and Financial Aid is dedicated to reducing out-of-pocket tuition costs and making education an affordable reality. Our services include:

  • Assistance with financial aid forms and other required documents
  • Processing financial aid in compliance with federal and state regulations
  • Paying financial aid to the student’s bill
  • Advising on alternative aid sources and budgeting

All financial aid processing for the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies, including origination, verification and disbursement is managed by the Office of Fellowships and Financial Aid: financialaid@slu.cuny.edu or (212) 817-7460.
