Formerly known as food stamps, SNAP helps low-income students with food when money is tight. SNAP issues electronic benefits that can be used like cash to purchase food. Eligibility and benefit levels are based on household size, income and other factors.

Many students receiving financial aid are eligible, and can receive money for groceries each month. To see if you qualify, and review FAQs, please visit the SNAP website.

For assistance with this process, the following Binghamton University offices are available:

• Financial Aid


• Dean of Students (DOS)


• Binghamton University Food Pantry
