Tuition and Fees
Please view the University Tuition information for program costs.

The University administration reserves the right, whenever advisable, to change or modify its schedule of tuition and fees. Every effort is made to maintain them at the lowest possible level.

Scholarships
Scholarship awards are competitive and are made on the basis of scholastic achievement, need, and evidence of leadership, work experience and other personal characteristics that may add value to the academic and social atmosphere at STJ. The majority of scholarships cover 25% tuition. They are generally given to full time students for a period of one year. To be considered for a scholarship, you must include an additional letter with your application material stating your interest in being considered as a candidate. Students holding tuition scholarships are required to pay the general fees and any other fees required for the courses they are taking.

U.S. Federal Loans for American Citizens
American students who are interested in studying in Rome are eligible to apply for federal graduate loans in the U.S. This process should be started in January and can be started prior to receiving an acceptance to St. John's University. The University deadline for filing the FAFSA is Feb. 1 each year.

The following is a brief description of the financial aid application process:

  • First, students must fill out a FAFSA form, this may be done on-line. You must include the SJU Title IV Code: 002823.
  • The U.S. government will automatically notify STJ that you have filed for loans. You should receive a copy of the form you filed in the mail, you will be asked to confirm that all the information is correct and to mail it back to the U.S. government agency.
  • Once you are admitted to St. John's and the university has received your FAFSA (this comes from the U.S. agency), the university will process your loan request.
  • St. John's will send you a package and a financial letter. Then you will have to complete the necessary forms provided by the financial aid office and return them via mail to the university.

Graduate Assistantships
Graduate assistantships are competitive and are awarded to currently matriculated students who are present at the Rome campus. Full and part time assistantships are awarded on a semester basis to qualified students. These awards are based on academic achievement. Full and half tuition remission for up to 4 classes per semester is awarded and all students must maintain a full time study program. Their renewal, contingent on satisfactory work, is at the discretion of the University. Students who are interested in applying for a graduate assistantship must complete the appropriate application form in addition to all the application materials and send all material.
