Scholarships and Financial Aid

Scholarship and financial grants (service grants, discounts) are privileges granted by USL. They are not rights to be claimed.

The school adheres to the policy of extending available scholarships to the greatest number of deserving students, and not to accumulate different grants on one person. Scholarship grants, whether extended by this college or solicited from outside agencies, are not cumulative. A student can be a recipient of only one scholarship/grant available in the college during the term.

It is the responsibility of the student to respect always the intention of the donors of the scholarship/grant.

Entrance Scholarships

Entrance scholarships are granted to high school valedictorians and salutatorians during their first semester of study in the college. Such scholarships are good for one semester only.

• Valedictorian-100% tuitional discount
• Salutatorian-75% tuitional discount
• First – Third Honorable Mention-50% tuitional discount
• Fourth – Eight Honorable Mention
  • 30% tuitional discount
  • upon presentation of certificate from Principal, report card and graduation program- if graduating among a group at least 50 students

Academic Scholarships

Academic scholarships are granted to students who are outstanding in academic achievements and aptitudes. The selection of the recipients is based on the criteria set forth by the Committee on Scholarships and approved by the Administration.

Qualified students are those who are non-holders of another scholarship grant, carrying a load of at least 18 academic units and had not dropped any subject during the previous semester, had no failing grade in non-academic subjects and commendable for class attendance, participation, general conduct, leadership and social acceptability.

Special Scholarships

Special grants obtained from donors or from special funds may be available to students on the basis of specified criteria. These are usually given to deserving but needy students.

Service Grants

Service grants are given to students who serve the University of Saint Louis as working students.

Discounts

All discounts have to be applied for by the students at the Accounting Office upon registration. (After the registration period, applications will no longer be entertained).

Discounts apply only for the regular semesters, not for summer. Application must be renewed at the beginning of each semester.

No discount will be given to students with old, unpaid accounts. Students who fail to pay their account in full within the semester lose their discount privilege.

Discounts are not cumulative with other grants or discounts. In case the students could qualify for more than one grant or discount, the highest grant or discount shall apply.
