Financial Aid
Education is an investment in the future. A Saint Joseph's education is an investment in the future of everything. No matter how the world changes, the job market shifts, or personal and professional goals develop with time, we'll give you the skills, confidence, resilience and foundation to be successful — in work and in life. We know our approach works, and we want to make it available to all qualified students. That's why we work closely with individuals and families to find the right financing options, offer scholarship and aid opportunities, and host financial wellness programs for students and parents.
How to Apply
Students or families seeking consideration for need-based and non-need-based federal aid or need-based state and institutional aid should submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Saint Joseph’s University's school code is 003367.
FAFSA forms become available at fasfa.gov for the next school year starting on October 1.
To receive federal aid, you must be enrolled in a degree or Title IV approved certificate program and be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. If you are a male between the ages of 18-25, you must also be registered with Selective Service.
Financial Aid Process
All prospective students need to fill out the FAFSA to be considered for financial aid beyond merit scholarships.

Under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, tuition is waived for veterans (and their family members) who have accumulated at least 36 months of aggregate service since September 11, 2011, and for discharges with a service-connected disability after 30 days. Anyone who has served 90 days–36 months is eligible for a partial-tuition waiver.
Saint Joseph's University is a participating Yellow Ribbon School. Those that served 89 days-36 months may be eligible to have all or part of their tuition covered between the VA and Saint Joseph's University under the Yellow Ribbon Program.
