<p>First off…Syracuse might not meet 96% of YOUR need. That is an average of the need they meet. The school does not guarantee to meet the full need of all accepted students…and they don’t.</p>
<p>IF you get enough financial aid to cover tuition, room, board, fees and books, then YES your aid can be used to cover room and board costs. Any financial aid used to cover room/board costs would be taxable income for the student.</p>
