Stony Brook Financial Aid

Paying for College
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>So I applied RD to Stony Brook University for Biomedical Engineering but I got accepted for AOI in PreBiomedical Engineering. What is this? Also, is this considered as an undeclared major? Will I still receive financial aid? Sorry, I was a bit confused. Thanks.</p>

<p>I don’t see why that would disqualify you for financial aid. I’m guessing they put you into AOI because you didn’t meet the requirements for direct admission into the major. I think you just have to complete the requirements and then you will be admitted into the major.</p>

<p>Ok thanks so much</p>

<p>I also have been accepted to Stony Brook in an AOI program. Thanks for posting the information on the NYS TAP aid. However, I am more concerned about federal aid. Are students in AOI programs eligible for federal grants and loans? Thanks!</p>

<p>As long as you are a matriculated degree seeking student, you should be eligible for federal aid.</p>

<p>Ah thanks. I suppose that gets to the root of my question then, whether or not the AOI program constitutes matriculation etc… I suppose I’ll have to call the financial aid office on Monday to be sure.</p>

<p>Actually, mystery solved. I just received my acceptance letter and it says I was admitted as a matriculated undergraduate in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences with an area of interest in computer science. Thanks for the help!</p>
