Stony Brook is among a handful of colleges on Long Island that has begun offering tuition assistance to students affected by Hurricane Sandy, according to a report published Wednesday in Newsday.

Six students have applied for the waivers and the school also reported making efforts to work with other students on tuition in light of their Sandy-related hardships.
