GIVE YOUR DREAMS WINGS More than 90 percent of Seattle University students receive financial aid, which adds up to $125 million in scholarships, grants, loans and employment assistance annually. Freshmen and transfer students who complete an admissions application to Seattle University are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships, which begin at $8,000. These scholarships are renewable for up to four years and are based on the information in the admissions application, not family finances. Institutional gift aid is guaranteed for the number of years remaining until expected degree completion (based on the class standing assigned by the Office of the Registrar). We know how important investing in a Seattle University education is to you and we’re ready to help you make it happen. Learn how to apply for financial aid with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at SEATTLEU.EDU/FINANCIAL-AID.
