How Stony Brook compares across our verified dataset
- 669 of 751 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
Stony Brook is one of them. The cohort minority (82 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
