Is SUNY Geneseo worth a closer look?

SUNY Geneseo awards automatic merit on admission. SUNY Geneseo does not publish a GPA or test chart, so you cannot self-calculate the dollars.

Cost and graduation facts

Federal reporting on who actually enrolls at SUNY Geneseo, what they paid after aid, and what happened next — independent of anything the school markets.

Average annual net price by family income at SUNY Geneseo, academic year 2021-22 — in-state, Title-IV aid recipients only
Family income	Average net price paid
$0–$30,000	$10,018
$30,001–$48,000	$12,254
$48,001–$75,000	$16,142
$75,001–$110,000	$17,549
$110,001+	$23,043
All income levels (average)	$18,211

Sticker price vs. what students actually pay

Published tuition & fees (in-state), AY 2022-23: $8,999
Published tuition & fees (out-of-state), AY 2022-23: $19,569
Average net price paid (all Title-IV aid), AY 2021-22: $18,211

That works out to roughly a 34% discount below the federal AY 2021-22 average cost of attendance of $27,709 (College Scorecard — a separate, federally reported figure, not the published cost of attendance shown above).

SUNY Geneseo is a public school; Scorecard's net price figure covers in-state, Title-IV-aid-recipient payers only — there is no comparable federal figure for out-of-state students.

Outcomes for students who enrolled here

First-year retention rate, 2021 cohort: 87%
Median debt at completion, 2020–2021 completers: $19,500 (~$207/mo on a 10-yr plan)

How to read these numbers

Net price reflects only first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students who received federal Title IV financial aid — not SUNY Geneseo's full student body.
Published tuition is the catalog sticker price for all students, not a Title IV-only figure.
Graduation rate reflects the entire first-time, full-time, degree-seeking cohort — not only students who received Title IV aid.
Retention rate reflects all first-time, full-time, bachelor's-seeking students — not only Title IV aid recipients.
Median debt reflects only completers who took out federal student loans — not SUNY Geneseo's full graduating class, and not limited to first-time, full-time students.
Median earnings reflect Title IV aid recipients who entered college and were working (not enrolled) roughly a decade later — not necessarily the graduating cohort, and not a recent graduate's paycheck.
Pell grant and federal loan participation covers first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students only.
Net price blends need-based aid and merit aid together — it is not a merit-specific estimate. It shows what similar-income families actually paid on average after every kind of aid, not what a strong-stats student could win in merit dollars alone. Treat it as cost context, not a merit forecast — a MeritPlaybook models merit aid specifically for your student’s own stats, which this net-price figure cannot do.

None of this is current-year data — the U.S. Department of Education reports it on a delay, and different figures below come from different reporting years. Net price is an academic year 2021-22 figure. Published tuition reflects the 2022-23 academic year. Graduation rate reflects the Fall 2016 entering, full-time, first-time, degree/certificate-seeking cohort; completion measured within 150% of normal time (~6 years for a bachelor's degree). IPEDS Graduation Rates component (C150_4). Retention reflects the Fall 2021 full-time, first-time, bachelor's-seeking cohort retained into the following fall. IPEDS Fall Enrollment component (RET_FT4). Median debt reflects the NSLDS FY2020 and FY2021 pooled completer cohorts (GRAD_DEBT_MDN, GRAD_DEBT_MDN10YR_SUPP). Median earnings reflect the Treasury-matched cohort entering college in AY2009-10 or AY2010-11, earnings measured 10 years later in calendar years 2020 and 2021, inflation-adjusted to 2022 dollars (MD_EARN_WNE_P10).

How SUNY Geneseo compares

665 of 749 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
SUNY Geneseo is one of them. The cohort minority (84 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
