Institutional gift aid policy

Saint Martin's University guarantees the amount of institutional gift aid (grants and/or scholarships) that an incoming undergraduate student is awarded for four years. After their award letter has been finalized, the amount of institutional aid they receive will remain constant provided the student is continually enrolled, continues to make satisfactory academic progress, and files a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually or submits a FAFSA waiver to Student Financial Services.

Students should be aware that the names of the grants/scholarships may change from year-to-year; the total dollar amount will remain the same. As tuition cost may increase during the tenure of the student with the university, families should create a financial  plan to anticipate costs that exceed the student's allotted gift aid.
