Scholarship and Financial Aid Opportunities for Undergraduate Students
Getting a college degree is an investment into your future; it requires effort and perseverance, as well as financial planning. In addition to the services and offerings we provide to assist our students in their academic and personal journey to graduation, Saint Louis University – Madrid Campus financially-speaking offers an array of scholarship and financial aid opportunities to facilitate your access to the education that will open the doors to your future.
We aim to make it possible for students and their families to invest in the quality education offered by such an esteemed American, Jesuit institution, as is Saint Louis University. We do this by offering significant scholarship, grant, loan and work opportunities. Our Office of Financial Aid will work with you individually and put the best package together for you based upon the resources available.
Scholarship/Financial Aid Programs
Saint Louis University – Madrid Campus assists students and their families personally to invest in a quality education by providing the following 5 possibilities:
- Madrid Campus High School Scholarship
- Scholarships, which are available to students based on academic achievement.
- Work Grants, which consist of on-campus job opportunities (up to 10 hours/week) for which students receive a discount in their tuition fees.
- Family Awards, which are available for families with more than one dependent child enrolled simultaneously at Saint Louis University (St. Louis and/or Madrid Campus).
- Grants and loans, some of which will have to be repaid, are also available. (US citizens and US residents only)
Madrid Campus Jesuit High School Scholarship
Entering freshmen who have completed their last two years of high school in any Jesuit high school anywhere around the world are automatically awarded the Madrid Campus Jesuit High School Award.
Permanent Student Scholarships
Several four-year merit scholarships, based on academic achievement, ranging from 2,000 € to 8,000 € per year, are available to incoming freshman students of any nationality. The Rubio, Arrupe, Sullivant and Iñigo scholarships do not require separate scholarship applications, as the application for Freshman Admission qualifies applicants automatically for consideration. SLU – Madrid Campus also offers an academic, merit scholarship of 4,000 € per year to Transfer Students, called the Javier Scholarship with a maximum of three years. Consideration for this scholarship is also automatic for transfer students upon submission of their application for admission. These scholarships are renewed automatically as long as students continue to meet the established requirements.
Furthermore, scholarship recipients who decide to transfer to our St. Louis Campus, will have their scholarship awards converted automatically into their counterpart scholarships on that campus, corresponding to similar percentages of tuition.
Visiting Student Scholarships
Visiting students also have the opportunity to apply for additional aid. Specifically, Visiting (or Study Abroad) students may apply for the Robert Tieken & Cristina Acosta and Amy King scholarships.
Work Grants
All students may apply Work Grant, although we give priority to first and second year permanent students. Work Grant positions between 50 and 150 hours per semester are designed to provide a form of need-based aid to students, while providing service to a variety of on-campus areas and departments of the University (e.g. Library, Bookstore, Computer Labs, Campus Ministry, Student Life, Office of Admissions, etc.).
Family Awards
Family Awards of 750 € per semester are available for families with more than one dependent child enrolled simultaneously at Saint Louis University (St. Louis and/or Madrid Campus).
Grants
Grants are one of the most sought after types of aid as – like scholarships – students do not have to pay back these funds after graduation. Grants are awarded based upon a student's financial need and awarded from Saint Louis University and the US Federal and State government. No separate application is required; Students must only complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) prior to March 1st each and every year. Due to the nature of these grants, only US citizens and US permanent residents are eligible to receive them.
