All families share common concerns about the cost of going to college.
Financial assistance is available from federal and state sources, private agencies, and Saint Mary's College resources. Our primary goal is to provide assistance to qualified students who would otherwise be unable to pursue their education. Most of the financial aid programs available at Saint Mary's are based on financial need. Financial need is the difference between the cost of education and the amount one might reasonably expect that a family contribute to meet college costs. These contributions are determined by using the Federal Methodology formula.
