| The Office of Financial Aid at the University of Saint
Francis administers financial aid from federal, state,
institutional, and private resources according to the
Federal guidelines provided by the U.S. Department of
Education. The university works with students and families
in determining available funds to help meet the cost of
education at the University of Saint Francis.
The philosophy of student financial aid is based on the
rationale that the student and family, where applicable, are
the primary resource in funding the student's education.
Each student's situation is evaluated through the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Once the application is completed and evaluated by the U.S.
Department of Education, the expected family contribution (EFC)
is determined. University of Saint Francis in turn will use
the calculated
EFC to determine available funding
from federal, state, and institutional resources. An aid
package may include a combination of scholarships and/or
grants, educational loans and student employment. The
EFC is an index number used to determine eligibility
rather than what the student's bill will actually be.
Financial aid awards are based on the information submitted
by the student and family, academic records, the date of the
application, and fund availability.
