Student Financial ServicesA college education is a big investment in your future - one that will pay off through increased knowledge and better career opportunities. Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus is committed to making a quality, private education affordable. Seventy-seven percent of our students receive financial assistance to help meet college expenses. Each year, more than $175 million in scholarships and financial aid is awarded to our students. Financial aid is available in the form of scholarships, grants and loans.

Through an integrated mix of personal and online services, we have developed a system that supports our students in managing all aspects of financing their education.

Through the University’s convenient My LIU portal, you can execute the following registrar-related actions: (i)view your financial aid information and (ii) view a list of “to do” items, that reflects documents that need to be submitted and actions that need to be taken to ensure your enrollment or continued enrollment. If you are not familiar with the My LIU portal, visit the online student center. To establish an account, or to log in to your account visit My LIU.

In addition to this convenient online option to manage the financing of your education, our experienced financial aid counselors will work closely with you and your family to make sure you receive the highest amount of aid possible.
