Financial Aid

Affording St. John’s College


The St. John’s Commitment

St. John’s College is committed to making its distinctive academic program affordable for all qualified students, regardless of their financial circumstances. We believe that the excellent educational experience at St. John‘s is of lasting value and we recognize that a private liberal arts education can be an expensive undertaking for students and their families. However, students and their families should not assume that a St. John’s education is out of reach financially. We offer individualized packaging of need-based grants, scholarships, and other forms of aid; our staff will work with students and families to ensure that this education is affordable.

This year St. John‘s College has received special funding for an expanded program of financial aid. The college will now offer merit scholarships in addition to need-based aid grants,  beginning with students admitted to the freshman class for fall 2013. All admitted students may qualify for grants and/or scholarships, no matter what their family income. The college offers merit scholarships to students who show academic promise. St. John's remains committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated need as it appears through the FAFSA and PROFILE financial aid forms. The college's individualized financial aid program tailors each package with a combination of direct grants, scholarships, reasonable loans, and work-study.

Points to remember:

  • St. John‘s College follows a need-blind admissions policy. This means that students are considered for admission independently of their need for financial aid.
  • More than 70% of St. John‘s students currently receive need-based financial aid.
  • St. John’s merit scholarships are available for students who show academic promise.
  • Financial aid at St. John‘s is renewable for all four years of study.
  • Staff in the Financial Aid office at St. John‘s can explain the expanded programs and guide students and families through the process of applying.
