Cost & Filling the Gap
Your financial aid may not cover all the expenses that you may incur while working towards your Stony Brook degree. Our Net Price Calculator provides a personalized estimate of your actual cost of attendance by subtracting potential grants and scholarships from the total price. This tool helps you determine your "out-of-pocket" expenses and identify any "gap" in your funding, allowing you to better explore available options for covering your remaining costs. Learn more about filling the gap.
