Students Needing Assistance Program (SNAP)

UB requires all undergraduate students to have access to a computer. Are you worried about whether or not you will be able to afford a computer? If you can demonstrate clear and compelling financial need, you need not be concerned. Thanks to SNAP, financial status is not a barrier to computer access and there is no charge for participating in the program.
CHECK YOUR SNAP STATUS:
Verify eligibility for new and continuing students.
Enter your Person Number:

then hit enter.

Who is eligible? Under the SNAP program, freshmen are eligible if they are enrolled for 12 or more credit hours per semester, and their Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is between 0 and 400. EFC is the federal methodology that is used to determine financial need for financial aid programs, and is based on the information students and their parents provide the Financial Aid Office through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.

How Do I Know If I Qualify? By June 1st, incoming deposited Freshmen students who are eligible will receive a letter and application in the mail from the SNAP Program Director. To apply for the program, students must return the application as instructed.

Acceptance into the SNAP program is limited; applications are processed on a first come, first served basis. Students selected to participate in the program will be notified by mail or email (if email address is provided) by early August. Included will be an acceptance letter which contains a SNAP agreement and delivery options for receiving the computer.

Remaining Eligible
To remain eligible each year, students must:
  1. File for FASFA by March 1st
  2. Have all Financial Aid Applications and paperwork to the Financial Aid office by April 15th
  3. Be enrolled full time in a course of study leading to a degree or certification from UB
  4. Be certified by UB as financially qualified.

What if I don’t qualify?
If you do not qualify for this program, but still need assistance in obtaining a computer, alternative financing options are available. Please contact the Financial Aid Office at 645-2450 to schedule an appointment with an advisor.
