<p>Well, I got first priority decisions from SUNY Buffalo and Stony Brook. Buffalo gave me their $10,000 over 4 years scholarship, while Stony Brook didn't give me anything! I'm just wondering why one school would give me such a great bonus and the other, similar one, wouldn't give me anything because I think that in terms of admissions SUNY Buffalo and Stony Brook are about the same, with Stony Brook maybe being slightly more selective. Are they just stingy with scholarships?</p>
<p>I don't think SBU has given anyone anything yet.</p>
<p>As far as I know, Buffalo gives out a lot more money because of their massive endowment funds.</p>
<p>If SB really wants good students, they should start giving out money, I'm going to place my deposit for Buffalo soon unless I can get more money to go here!</p>
<p>-Same here. Plattsburgh promised me 3500 a year, so yeah <_<</p>
<p>Hang in there, folks. The scholarship committee meets in early March; you should have your notifications some time mid-month. You still have plenty of time to deposit, so hang in there!</p>
<p>If you have questions about scholarships, just search "scholarships" on the main Web site. All the info should be on there; if you have specific questions, let me know.</p>
<p>I think Stony Brook's admissions criteria are probably comparable with Buffalo's; they have a lot larger student body than we do, but we're otherwise similar.</p>
