88 percent Percent of undergraduates receiving financial aid

$5,000 - $20,000 Merit scholarship range

HOW TO APPLYFreshmen and transfer students who complete an admissions application to Seattle University are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships, which can range from $5,000 - $20,000 per academic year. These scholarships are renewable for up to four years and are based on the information in the admissions application, not family finances.

To apply for additional need-based aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) after January 1 of the year you plan to enroll at Seattle University. Visit www.fafsa.gov to file the FAFSA online and indicate you would like your FAFSA results sent to:

Federal School Code No. 003790 Seattle University | 901 12th Ave | PO Box 222000 | Seattle, WA 98122-1090

WE’RE HERE TO HELPAdmissions Office: (206) 220-8040, [email protected] Aid: (206) 220-8020, [email protected]

CATEGORIES OF FINANCIAL AIDSCHOLARSHIPS: Merit-based scholarships rely heavily on academic achievement, such as cumulative GPA and SAT or ACT scores for freshmen, or based upon cumulative GPA for transfer students with more than 36 college credits. Seattle University offers merit scholarships for international students as well. Visit www.seattleu.edu/scholarships for more information.

GRANTS: State, federal and institutional grants are based on need and, like scholarships, do not need to be repaid. Grant amounts can vary and may include Federal Pell Grants, State Need Grants and Seattle University Grants. Students must file the FAFSA to be considered for need-based grants. Visit www.seattleu.edu/financial-aid for more information.

WORK OPPORTUNITIES: State and federal work-study programs offer subsidized part-time employment both on- and off-campus for students who qualify. Seattle University offers student employment for both work-study and non work-study student employment positions on campus.

LOANS: Your financial aid award may include student loans, some of which may be interest-free while you attend college. Although loans must be repaid, interest rates are low and the terms are generally far more favorable than loans available commercially. Payments may be deferred or forgiven based on certain conditions set by the federal government.

WHAT TO EXPECT– Admitted students who are awarded merit-based scholarships are notified via letter in

their acceptance packets. For questions about merit-based scholarships, please contact the Admissions Office.

– Students who file the FAFSA can expect to receive a financial aid award in late March of senior year, or within 30 days of admission for transfer students.

– Students receive email notification when financial aid awards are available for viewing via SU Online (www.suonline.seattleu.edu), and you will receive an email notification when your financial award is available for viewing.
