World-Class Academics. Personal Approach. Successful Outcomes. |

Dear Colleague,
“How can we afford college?” That’s a question being asked by more and more students and families right now, especially as the pandemic continues. So this month, I am sharing ways Adelphi is helping.
-
95 percent of our full-time undergraduates received some form of financial aid this fall.
-
More than 88 percent of them received scholarships and grants—money they don’t need to repay.
-
1,000-plus had paid internships and work-study opportunities.
-
94 percent of our 2019 students were employed or continuing their education within six months of graduation—earning average annual salaries of $75,000—38 percent higher than the national average annual salary.
Tip: Our nonbinding Early Action deadline is December 1. Prospective first-year students who apply Early Action will be among the first considered for our generous merit scholarships and need-based grants.
As a reminder, National Transfer Student Week (NTSW) is this week through October 23, and Adelphi is one of only three New York colleges and universities on Phi Theta Kappa’s 2020 Transfer Honor Roll, awarded for ease of transfer. We’ll be welcoming and celebrating transfer students and the professionals who support them.
As always, feel free to check our Campus Restart site. Our campus is open, our students are respecting safety guidelines, and our admissions and financial aid teams are here and ready to help.
Cheers,
|

Stephanie Espina
Director of Undergraduate Admissions

What scholarships and awards does Adelphi offer undergraduates?
Adelphi awards generous scholarships to incoming undergraduate students every year ranging from $10,000 to $28,000-plus.

How do I apply for financial aid using FAFSA?
Students who want to be considered for financial aid should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually to determine eligibility for federal, state and college-sponsored financial aid. They can file online as soon as possible after October 1 each year to maximize the financial aid award. Our Fall 2021 priority filing date is March 1. Adelphi's federal school code is 002666.

New Academic Program Spotlight: BS in Health Sciences |
|
Your students may be very interested in a new career-focused healthcare major at Adelphi, the BS in Health Sciences. They'll gain a broad understanding of health and wellness, from biological and social sciences to global public health and the humanities. Students can choose the concentration that interests them most: Biomedical, Health Promotion, Healthcare Administration and Leadership, Foundations in Communication Sciences and Disorders, or Social and Behavioral Sciences. All students complete a healthcare internship as their capstone experience—giving them valuable work experience with an area employer.
