All students are automatically considered for a University Scholarship at the point of admission based on their academic record. Generally, the higher a student’s academic profile is, the higher the scholarship will be.
We also offer many other scholarship opportunities which are specialized awards for students with specific majors, interests or talents. The deadline to apply for these opportunities is January 15.
In addition to merit-based aid, students can file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for need-based grants from Seton Hall as well as the federal and state governments. File at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa by December 1 or as soon as possible. Seton Hall’s FAFSA code is 002632.
One of the biggest mistakes families make is ruling out a school early in the selection process because of cost. The actual final cost you will pay once scholarships and financial aid are taken into consideration is often much lower than the sticker price. You won’t know this final cost until about February of the student’s senior year once you have received a financial aid package. In the meantime, you can get an estimate of your financial aid by visiting our net cost calculator.
