Understanding Cost and Financial Aid

As you explore pursuing your education at Saint Joseph’s University, your admission counselor also serves as your financial aid counselor. We are here to help you understand your financial aid award and walk you through the next steps to enroll.

Once your financial aid award is available to view, it will be posted to your admission account.

Please note that we do not negotiate or match financial aid offers from other institutions. After reviewing your financial aid award, you may submit an appeal based on the following special financial circumstances:

Loss of income/unemployment
Death of a wage earner
Significant medical expenses not covered by insurance
Other financial circumstance not reflected on the 2020–2021 FAFSA

If you have any questions, contact your admission counselor or call 610-660-1300.

Freshman Orientation

Saint Joseph's orientation is an experience unlike any other. Designed to make your transition to college easy (and fun), our orientation is run by student leaders who will help you get settled on campus. Your fellow Hawks will take you around the city of Philadelphia, answer questions about your first year and introduce you to your new best friends. In two days' time, you'll become a true Hawk and learn what it means to call Saint Joseph's home.

Learn more about Orientation

Orientation is where your new classmates become your new best friends.

Trips to the city include Philly favorites like Reading Terminal Market, the Philadelphia Art Museum and more. Orientation leaders guide you through using local public transportation.

As part of Orientation in 2019, students played FACTUALITY, a board game and facilitated simulation of real-life experiences in America that examines the advantages and limitations that stem from each character’s intersection of race, economic background, gender, sexual orientation and religious affiliation.

Yes, we'll give you a tour, answer questions, help you get settled. But we'll also invite you to have some fun with team building, games and ice breakers to help you start to feel like part of the Hawk community.
