SINCE 1928

YOUR STORY BEGINS NOW

Chicopee, MA • elms.edu

OUR STORY BEGan long ago Over 350 years ago in Le Puy-en-Velay, France, six women gathered on a daily basis to share their hearts and serve the needs of their neighbors. Rather than cloistered, or away from the outside world, they were active agents of change. In 1650, they formally became the Sisters of St. Joseph.

Elms College Berchmans Hall, our flagship building, was dedicated in 1931.

In 1928, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Springfield, Massachusetts, founded Elms College. They were dedicated to providing an education rooted in fundamental justice while also welcoming the stranger, the immigrant, the poor, and those of all faiths.

Today, in the spirit of the Sisters, Elms College continues its mission to provide a learning community committed to unity and social justice. We embrace and respect all people, cultures, religions, and the planet so that together we may effect positive change in our world.

Financial Aid When considering colleges, cost matters. We understand this. And we understand that a private college may feel out of reach for some due to cost. What you may not know is that we keep tuition affordable by offering competitive merit scholarships (that’s money you don’t have to pay back). In fact, last year we awarded nearly $10 million in total merit scholarships to students. We also offer other types of aid, including grants and loans. With over 90% of our students receiving financial aid, we’ll help you find the best way to pay for your education.

Applying for Aid Applying for aid is simple: complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov using school code 002140. You can do this as early as October 1 for the next school year. After you’ve completed the FAFSA and applied for admission, we’ll assemble an individualized aid package for you.
