Financial Aid
Saint Paul College School Code: 005533
Saint Paul College financial aid is available to help students finance the cost of an education.
Financial aid comes in the form of
grants (money that the student does not have to pay back),
loans (money that the student must pay back) and
college work-study (money the student earns through employment).
Eligibility is determined from the results of the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The Saint Paul College Financial Aid Office will calculate financial aid eligibility after receiving FAFSA results and all required documents.
Financial aid is intended to supplement the difference between the cost of education and the expected family contribution. The student and his or her family have the primary responsibility to pay for the student's education. Several resources are available to help students meet their educational expenses.
The student must be admitted to a program/declare a major at Saint Paul College that leads toward a degree, diploma, or eligible certificate to be qualified to receive financial aid.
