Let’s start with the most obvious one: “Can I afford to go to college?”
Our answer: “Can you afford not to?”
A Saint Joseph’s University education is truly an investment in your future. To look at it in purely financial terms, on average, a bachelor’s degree provides twice the lifetime earning power of a high school diploma. According to the U.S. Department of Education, this translates to roughly $2.1 million over a lifetime.
Now, your second question: “Great. But how do I pay for college right now?”
Our answer: “Let us direct you to the resources that can help.”
Approximately 85 percent of SJU students receive financial assistance in the form of academic and athletic scholarships, grants, loans and work-study funds, either singly or in combination. To ensure the best opportunity to receive financial assistance, we encourage you to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon after January 1 as possible but no later than the February 15 priority deadline. (Saint Joseph’s University code is 003367.)
For more information, contact our financial assistance office, or visit the links below. By taking advantage of the information and guidance offered through these resources, we think you’ll find—as thousands of other students have—that an SJU education is affordable, manageable and a worthwhile investment.

Are you someone who has already embraced the “not for spectator” spirit, dedicating yourself to working hard in your high school classes and earning grades that reflect your commitment to making the most of your learning opportunities? If so, we have good news.
Each year, Saint Joseph’s University awards merit-based scholarships to freshmen who have outstanding academic and achievement records. The value of these scholarships ranges from $5,500 per year to full-tuition. All students who submit a complete application for admission are considered for merit-based scholarships.
Typical recipients have a minimum B+ grade point average and have achieved strong SAT or ACT scores. Each year, the profile of the scholarship recipients varies based on the applicant pool. The scholarship committee awards the Board of Trustees, Presidential and University Scholarships, as well as the Achievement Award. Select students will be invited to apply for the Board of Trustees Scholarship and are required to submit a separate scholarship application.

Since both the major and certificate programs in European studies require the acquisition of a working level of competence in a European language, careers in the international arena are especially attractive. Saint Joseph’s graduates in the European studies program have continued their studies on the graduate level in the traditional fields of language and literature and are pursuing careers in teaching and research. Areas that require proficiency in a language, such as international law, international marketing, art history, print and broadcast journalism lead to challenging careers both here and in Europe. Library science, both in the university and corporate world, also offers exciting career options.
