Seattle U Bound

Seattle University incoming first-year students enrolled in Washington's College Bound Program may be considered to receive financial aid to cover their full, demonstrated financial need for four years. To meet full, demonstrated need Seattle University commits to offering financial aid that will cover the difference between a student's Student Aid Index (SAI)* from the FAFSA and the total Cost of Attendance (COA). The financial aid will be in different forms and from a variety of sources. For example, the financial aid will be a mix of grants/scholarships, work-study, and low-interest loans from federal, state, and Seattle University sources — combined with the College Bound scholarship.
