Financial Aid for High School Students
The University of Saint Francis boasts one of the lowest tuition rates of any private school in the state! We are committed to making quality education affordable to all of our students. One hundred percent of first-time, full-time students at the University of Saint Francis receive some form of financial aid. In addition to our low tuition, USF offers merit and talent scholarships, need-based grants and other financial assistance to reduce your cost of attendance. Last year we gave our students $14 million dollars for financial aid!
The value of the education you receive at the University of Saint Francis will far exceed its cost. Students who attend private universities are more likely to graduate in four years and be able to pay back their student loans in a timely manner. (And when you graduate in four years, you have less debt to begin with!)
To help pay for college, the Office of Financial Aid provides students the opportunity to sit down one-on-one with a financial aid counselor to discuss options. As a USF student, you will have one counselor for your four years here to help you.
Important Financial Aid Calculators
- Academic Scholarship Calculator—Use your GPA and test scores to see what academic scholarships you may receive. Try bumping up your scores to see the value of studying and taking the test again. If you do take the test a second time, we use your highest scores to automatically adjust your scholarships.
- Net Price Calculator—This calculator uses some of the metrics used for the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to estimate the financial aid you would receive. Keep in mind, as you look at these results, that these numbers only cover the federal aid, not state or institutional funding.
Please feel free to contact the Office of Financial Aid at 260-399-8003, via email at finaid@sf.edu, or visit us in Trinity Hall. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
