Types of Financial Aid

CSB and SJU Grants

Each college offers grants to qualified students. Eligibility for these funds is based on documented financial need.

Minnesota State Grant Program

This program is available to all Minnesota residents with eligibility based on financial need as defined by the state. The state requires students to enroll for 15 credits per semester to be considered full time.

Federal Pell Grants

This federal grant is available to all U.S. citizens who have not earned a bachelor's degree. Eligibility is based solely on documented financial need as determined by the FAFSA.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) are limited to students with exceptional financial need who show academic promise.

Army ROTC Scholarships

These scholarships cover a portion of tuition, fees and books and are available to students who are enrolled in the Reserve Officers Training Corps and who show potential for officer leadership. Scholarship eligibility is not based on financial need. In addition, ROTC Scholarship recipients may be eligible for CSB/SJU scholarships or grants to cover a portion of the room and board expenses.

Student Employment

Approximately 1,150 part-time jobs are available on each campus, with a limited number of jobs also available off campus. Student employment is awarded on the same basis as other types of financial aid; that is, documented financial need and satisfactory academic standing. Students normally work five to 10 hours per week and generally earn from $1,250 to $2,600 a year. Wages for student employment are paid from federal work-study, institutional or state of Minnesota funds. Students may use their earnings to pay for tuition, room and board costs or for personal expenses.
