Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
Siena is a bit expensive, due to it being a private school with a very small amount of students, but I feel it's worth it!
Janet from Port Jefferson station, NY
The school is expensive and the merit scholarships don't provide a lot of money, at least not compared to some of the other schools I applied to. However, Siena's quality of education is worth the money. You gain a wealth of knowledge that can help you later in life.
Ann from WI
Most students at Siena receive some type of financial aid. It is definitely not a cheap school, but for the education you are getting, it is worth it. Siena makes paying for college on my own possible through scholarships and financial aid.
Melanie from Sparta, NJ
There are many opportunities to get money from the school. On the website you can see the different types of Endowments, and getting your financial aid in sooner is better, the sooner you get it in the more chances of getting more money. A very large percentage of students here get financial aid.
Theresa from Albany, NY
Well, being a private school, Siena can get expensive. However, the school offers lots of scholarships and financial aid to help the students go to Siena without worrying about an expensive cost. Siena staff are always willing to work with you to help you with more aid.
Kaitlyn from Schenectady, NY
It can't be denied, Siena's expensive, but you do get a good education and you do meet some very wonderful professors. My advice, if you can get a scholarship for some portion of the tuition, Siena's worth it. If you're paying full-price, I don't know if I'd advise you to enroll. There are a lot of really cool on campus programs like early primer movies and casino nights- and Sienafest! If you don't know what Sienafest is, look online for pictures. Live concert (this year Jay Sean), parties, and a carnival all in one weekend.
Neidy from Bay Shore, NY
Expensive compared to SUNY schools, and depending upon which SUNY schools you are interested in is expensive for the education (e.g. Binghamton is excellent public school at state rate). College does offer need-based and academic scholarships with no limit on their number. Need to balance school size, class size, faculty attention and alumni support.
Nick from Delmar, NY
It's fairly cheap for a private school with a good reputation. I received a fairly large merit scholarship for my unusual transfer situation. I believe you can get around $15,000 in scholarships per year if you graduate from a community college and are a member of Phi Theta Kappa.
