Dear Colleagues,

This time of year, as students consider colleges, one big question always comes up: Can I afford this? 

At Adelphi, we’re proud of the generous financial aid set aside for our undergraduate first-year and transfer students. Over the past three years, our total institutional grants and scholarships has increased by $13 million—a clear commitment to helping students and families maximize their financial aid awards. In fact, U.S. News & World Report just named us a 2020 Best Value School .
New this year:
  • Scholarship opportunities for students from our highly ranked Summer Pre-College programs and from our Hispanic Community Partnership Program
  • Full-tuition scholarship opportunities for first-year students admitted to our prestigious Honors College
I can't wait to see many of your students at our Undergraduate Fall Open House . Our University Admissions and Student Financial Services teams are experts at helping students and families, and counseling is available in Spanish.  

We look forward to engaging with students at your school, or here on our gorgeous campus this fall—where they'll be sure to receive a warm Adelphi welcome.

All the best,
Stephanie Espina
Director of Undergraduate Admissions
