External Scholarships

The Office of Student Financial Services receives information from a variety of sources on the availability of external scholarship opportunities for students.  The Office seeks to make students aware of these opportunities by providing the information below and by regularly posting scholarship opportunities through the University Web Digest.  Students should be mindful of qualifications and deadlines.

It is important to note that a link to a Web site does not constitute an endorsement by St. John’s University of the sponsors or products on that site. The information is simply being provided as a resource for students and their families.  Please visit our Undergraduate Admission site for information on academic scholarships, and our GAAP office for graduate fellowship and scholarship assistance.
