This year the University will administer over $145 million dollars in financial assistance to undergraduates. These funds include gift aid, such as scholarships and need-based grants, and self-help opportunities like student loans and work-study jobs. 100% of this year’s entering first-year students are beneficiaries of Seattle University’s grants and scholarship program. 

The 2024-25 FAFSA is available! To be considered for need-based aid, please complete the FAFSA at studentaid.gov/fafsa; for the 2024-2025 academic year, please plan to file the FAFSA as soon as you're able.

When asked to list the schools to which you would like your FAFSA results to be sent, be sure to list SU’s federal school code: 003790 prior to or as part of filing via the web.
