Paying for SIU
We work hard to remove anything that comes between people and discovery. That includes financial barriers.
Everyone in our Financial Aid Office will do everything we can to maximize your options for an affordable college education. That’s why more than 80 percent of our students receive financial aid.
My parents want to learn more, too.
Good. Your family should come with you to see campus, ask questions, and hear how SIU will take care of their baby.
Going Places
Reap what you sow
"I took advantage of the extras that make a resume stand out—student council, Alpha Kappa Psi, American Marketing Association, internships—and networked with other campus leaders. So at graduation, a marketing career was waiting for me at John Deere.”
~Allison Niendek '08

For the love of the game
"I wouldn’t be the sports reporter at WSIL-TV without my experience on River Region Evening Edition. SIU taught me to jump in and get your hands dirty to really learn the craft. I practiced how to put together a story and correctly shoot the camera. Now I’m nostalgic when I cover Saluki Athletics.”

Tough love
“SIU made it easy for me to earn my degree through an off-campus military program. I remember one teacher in particular: Mrs. Thiesse. She was intimidating and tough at first. But now I have confidence when I write or present, which is essential in pharmaceutical sales.”
~Amber Menninger '06

Return on investment
“Every day at Deloitte and Touche, I draw on what I learned in my undergrad and masters programs at SIU. Beyond knowledge specific to my field, I have the leadership skills and drive to make informed decisions. I believe my mentors and faculty instilled that in me.”
~Fresnel Houecande '08, '10
Accountancy
Success by design
“When I was at SIU, I had an idea to help students swap their used textbooks—without cost. Professors connected me to the right resources to bring my idea to life. Now I’ve launched my own website.”
