FINANCIAL AID OPPORTUNITIES
Financial Aid includes scholarships, grants, awards, loans and work study programs —all but scholarships are determined by FAFSA results. Scholarships at St. Thomas are based on your application materials. There is no separate application to be considered for our scholarships. Make sure you include our school code on your FAFSA application (002832). Learn more about the FASFA process.
Applying For Aid
St. Thomas Aquinas College only requires the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. The FAFSA process provides the College with the results in the calculation of your EFC (Expected Family Contribution). Your EFC is the amount of money that the federal government believes your family can contribute to your education. For complete information, click here for St. Thomas Aquinas College Financial Aid.
St Thomas Aquinas College is committed to the principle of promoting access to information that will allow consumers such as students and parents to make informed decisions about postsecondary education. This web page provides a single access point to all federally mandated reports and disclosures related to Financial Aid.
