Financial Assistance

Saint Louis University's Office of Scholarship/Financial Aid is committed to both educational excellence in the Jesuit tradition and student service.

Paying for School
To determine eligibility for federal student aid programs, law students must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each academic year. For the 2008-2009 academic year, students will be required to file the 2008-2009 FAFSA using their 2007 federal income tax return information. Students can file the FAFSA online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov no earlier than January 1, 2008, and should have the results sent to Saint Louis University School of Law using the federal school code of 002506.

Governing Policies and Practices
Current federal law requires each eligible institution participating in Title IV federal financial aid programs to provide student financial assistance and other institutional information. Law students must adhere to the policies and practices established by Saint Louis University. Each student is responsible for knowing the University policies, in addition to the policies established by the School of Law. These policies and practices can be found in the Student Handbook and the Policies and Procedures section of the Web site.
