Here's what you need to do
Our goal at St. Bonaventure is to make a private Catholic university education available to as many students as possible.
To be considered for need- or academic-based financial assistance, a student must first apply for admission.
We encourage each student to apply for need-based aid by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) before the Feb. 15 priority deadline. There is no University-specific form or supplement to complete. Read more about why it is important to file the FAFSA.
When you'll hear about aid
Applicants receive academic scholarship notification with their offer of admission to the University. Complete financial aid awards, including need-based aid, are mailed beginning in March for the earliest FAFSA filers.
