Financing Options

The Student Financial Services Center offers financial planning assistance to students. Our goal is to place a high quality, private education within the reach of as many qualified students as possible. This goal is achieved by offering need and merit based financial aid awards that include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and on-campus employment. Currently, 85% of our undergraduate students receive some form of financial assistance. Listed below are a few of our financing options in the form of loans and work study.

The Federal Perkins Loan is a need-based loan awarded to students who demonstrate a certain level of need.

The Federal Stafford Loan is a guaranteed student loan that can be borrowed while students are enrolled at least part-time in a degree program.

Saint Joseph College Work-Study or Federal Work Study may be awarded to a student to seek out on-campus employment to earn those dollars through the course of the academic year.
