Financial Aid
Investing in YOU.
The Financial Aid Office strives to provide access to all Bennies and Johnnies by proactively serving and educating families of varied economic backgrounds. We administer financial aid programs with a commitment to equity, consistency and transparency in awarding resources.
Financial Aid for Students
Paying for college is a partnership between our students, their families and the college. We look carefully at the unique financial circumstances of each family, and offer every student the best package of support we can. While each family differs in its resources, its priorities and its attitudes toward money, The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University follow policies and practices to treat families equitably in the process.

Applying for Aid
The FAFSA is now open for the 2026-27 academic year! In addition to completing the FAFSA, our students may also complete our special circumstances form, found on the appropriate academic year listed below below:
Completing the special circumstances form does not guarantee additional aid. A valid FAFSA must be on file for a special circumstances form to be reviewed.
CSB+SJU Net Price Calculators
Like many major purchases, the price you see is not necessarily the price you pay. Estimate how much a CSB+SJU education will cost with our Net Price Calculators.
Note: This is only an estimate for new, first-year undergraduate students. It’s not an official application for financial aid. See our Applying for Financial Aid page.
Please contact our CSB+SJU Financial Aid Office after you fill out the estimator. They can help you interpret the results.
Types of Financial Aid
Scholarships
Scholarships are awarded based on merit at the time of admission to CSB+SJU.
Grants
All grants are awarded to students based on family income and financial information which is provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Grants do not need to be repaid.

Students who work through the Student Employment Program gain valuable skills and earn money to help pay for college. Students generally work 5-12 hours per week, and are are paid every two weeks for the hours they have worked.
Loans
CSB+SJU participate in all the major federal and state loan programs. Some loans are need-based and require the FAFSA in order to determine eligibility. Others are available to all students and parents regardless of family income. The loan amount and interest must be repaid. Credit-based loans require a separate application.
