SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse University (SU) is raising tuition for full-time undergraduate students to $66,580, representing about a 4.5 percent increase from last year’s tuition rate of $63,710.
SU announced the new tuition figure in a statement on its online news website.
At the same time, the university announced what it called a “major investment” in student-financial support as part of its 2025-26 budget, allocating more than $391 million to financial aid, scholarships, grants, and related assistance. That is up 7 percent from last year’s financial support and reflects the SU’s “deepening commitment to expanding educational access and opportunity,” the university contended.
