Once your financial need is determined, Stony Brook will work to create a financial aid package for you. The formula to determine your financial need is: Your SAI is calculated each year using a formula determined by the US Congress after the filing of a FAFSA. Your SAI is listed on the Student Aid Report (SAR) after your FAFSA has been submitted.
