Is SJU

for you?

It just might

be if ...

You're not content to sit on the sidelines

You put 100 percent into everything you do (since 110 percent just isn't humanly possible)

You're not afraid to put your ideas out there- or to actively seek out the ideas of others

You love getting absorbed in a great book, a fascinating conversation, an important project or whatever it is that you're doing

You won't let a question rest until you've tracked down the answer

Your mind is quick, your commitment is strong and your enthusiasm is high

Financial Aid

Got a thousand questions about paying for college? We have an answer for every one of them.

Let’s start with the most obvious one: “Can I afford to go to college?”
Our answer: “Can you afford not to?”

A Saint Joseph’s University education is truly an investment in your future. To look at it in purely financial terms, on average, a bachelor’s degree provides twice the lifetime earning power of a high school diploma. According to the U.S. Department of Education, this translates to roughly $2.1 million over a lifetime.

Now, your second question: “Great. But how do I pay for college right now?”
Our answer: “Let us direct you to the resources that can help.”
Approximately 85 percent of SJU students receive financial assistance in the form of academic and athletic scholarships, grants, loans and work-study funds, either singly or in combination. To ensure the best opportunity to receive financial assistance, we encourage you to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon after January 1 as possible but no later than the February 15 priority deadline. (Saint Joseph’s University code is 003367.)

By taking advantage of the information and guidance offered through these resources, we think you’ll find—as thousands of other students have—that an SJU education is affordable, manageable and a worthwhile investment.
