Financial Aid | Undergraduate

A Worthwhile Investment

At The College of St. Scholastica, we are committed to making a college education affordable. That's why we award millions of dollars in scholarships and grants to our students every year. And everyone who applies for financial aid from CSS receives it. In fact, many students find that it is less expensive to attend CSS than it is to attend a four-year public institution.
