SJC Priorities: Invest in students

For today and tomorrow

SJC Priorities l Invest in faculty

SJC students are amazing individuals with an abundance of energy, determination and a strong desire to succeed. They are eager to learn in the traditional way: by working dilligently.

Today’s students, however, face some of the highest debt burdens ever. More than 90% of students enrolled at Saint Joseph's receive some form of financial aid. For a Saint Joseph’s graduate, average family indebtedness including federal student loans is nearly $35,000 at the end of their four years.

Students arrive at Saint Joseph’s with a commitment to learn. The College should, and must, match their level of commitment. This will require continued and additional investments in institutional scholarships and grants.


$22,500 Tuition rate

$14 Million awarded in financial aid
$7.9 Million awarded from Saint Joseph's

Meet Liz Arline

Class of 2010

Entering her sophomore year, Liz is a chemistry major and hopes to pursue a future career in forensic science. She made the Dean's List last year.  Aside from her academic pursuits at SJC, Liz is also Vice President for Habitat for Humanity.

Saint Joseph's is the only college Liz applied to.  She loves that her teachers all know her by name and are readily available to lend their assistance. As a child of a single parent, Liz would not be able to attend Saint Joseph's if it were not for the generous financial aid package she received. Annual fund dollars we raise directly support Liz and other students like her who rely on financial aid and scholarships to obtain a college education. Please consider lending your support to the Fund for Saint Joseph's today!
