The University of St. Francis is committed to making a quality, private university affordable for all who wish to attend. During 2007-2008, the average gift assistance package for a transfer student was $9,053. Of the $1.86 million dollars in gift assistance from all sources, 63 percent came from USF. That's the kind of commitment we're talking about.

USF participates in federal and state programs also. To supplement gift assistance awards and family contribution, many students borrow to help pay their educational costs. USF participates in the Federal Direct Student Loan Program, the Carl D. Perkins Program and other select Alternative Loans from private lenders. This, in combination with the USF convenient 10-Pay Plan makes it easy to find the method that will best suit your own personal situation.

There is a wide array of information available on the USF Financial Aid Services web site. Please check it out and see why you can afford a quality private university education at University of St. Francis.
