Scholarships
Seminary
Seminary scholarships are available to students
accepted by dioceses to study for the priesthood.
Information on Seminary scholarships is available
from the Seminary Department.
General
Scholarships are awarded for students with general
and special abilities. These are given on the
basis of academic achievement, need, talent and
leadership ability.
Once a student is awarded an academic scholarship,
it will continue as long as the student
meets Satisfactory Progress Requirements. Other
awards are continued if financial need or aptitude
in a special field still exists.
Requirements
To receive scholarship money, students need to
be enrolled on a full-time basis (minimum of 12
semester credits). The scholarship for first year
students may be renewed for a maximum of four
years. To renew the scholarship, students need to
meet all of the established financial aid policies.
Students are encouraged to apply for all other
types of financial assistance by completing the
FAFSA form.
Loans
Students may be eligible for a student loan
assigned from the following sources:
Federal Stafford Loans
Most students who are at least half time and eligible
for financial aid may take out a Federal
Stafford Subsidized or Unsubsidized Loan.
The Federal Stafford Plus Loans are long-term
loans made available to parents, non-traditional,
and independent students to help pay college
expenses for dependent students.
Students who need loan money to pay their
bills should be aware of the time factor involved
in the receipt of funds. It is imperative to file for
financial aid and send all needed documents in a
timely manner. Loans are processed only after
receipt of a signed award letter from the student,
and the student is registered for classes. After the
student returns the signed promissory note, funds
are received by the university.
Perkins Loans
The University is authorized by the federal government
to grant loans if financial need exists.
The availability of the loans is dependent upon
federal legislation and available funds.
Grants
Alumni
Persons who have earned an undergraduate or a
graduate degree from St. Ambrose University will
be entitled to a 50 percent tuition discount on
undergraduate courses for which they register
three or more years after the completion of their
most recent St. Ambrose degree. The application
for this discount is available in the Financial Aid
Office.
Persons who have earned a graduate degree
from St. Ambrose will be entitled to a one-third
tuition discount on graduate courses in their original
graduate degree program and they may
enroll anytime after the completion of their graduate
degree. The application for this discount is
available from the graduate degree program
director and must be completed by the student
and graduate degree program director.
This discount may not be applied to the
tuition for graduate courses by alumni whose
previous degree was at the undergraduate level.
Students are not eligible if they are receiving
any other form of tuition assistance (i.e. state,
federal, employer assistance).
