Financial Aid and Scholarships

St. Catherine University provides scholarship, grant, low-interest loan and/or employment opportunities to qualified undergraduate, graduate and certificate students. Funding is available from federal, state and University resources. Applications must be submitted annually. Materials are available for the following school year each year in January and should be submitted by April 15 for priority consideration. To complete an application, each student must submit a St. Catherine's Financial Aid Application and a Free Application for Federal Student Aid for the year in which funding is requested.

The University offers merit scholarships to qualified students. Most scholarships are offered to new first-year and transfer students shortly after acceptance to the University and require full-time enrollment in the program. For a complete list of scholarships, please contact the Office of Admission.

Most federal financial aid programs require a student to enroll at least half time to be eligible. Some funds, including most University scholarships, require full-time enrollment. A few funds are available to less than half-time students. Please refer to the Student Enrollment Status section of this catalog for the definition of enrollment status, and contact the Office of Financial Aid for more information.
