From A Student
"My first choice was to come to St. Scholastica but I didn't think I could afford it. After applying for financial aid and earning outside scholarships, I found that it was more affordable than other colleges I was considering. That may not be the case for everyone, but it's worth going through the entire financial aid process to find out."
