Where to Give

When St. John’s opened its doors in 1870, the Vincentian founders challenged the University to provide a Catholic higher education for all students, regardless of means.

To ensure the strength of the Vincentian mission at a time of growing need, St. John’s has launched the Partners for Student Success Scholarship Initiative. The goal is to increase the University’s Scholarship Endowment Funds by raising $15 million over five years. Through this effort, generous alumni and friends make a lasting impact by creating named scholarship endowments.

This important new initiative will culminate in 2020—the year of the University’s 150th Anniversary celebration.

Endowed scholarship applications are being accepted for students applying for consideration for the current academic year. You must have the completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file for the year in which you are applying for endowed scholarship. Applicants for endowed scholarships must be in good academic and judicial standing.  Apply here by completing the general scholarship application.

How it Works

A New Way to Make a Difference

Through the Partners for Student Success Scholarship Program, generous alumni and friends can establish a permanent endowment with an outright gift of $100,000 or more, or a pledge of $100,000 or greater (payable over three to five years). The University will reinvest the gift for four years, increasing its earning power.

In addition, St. John’s will match five percent, six percent, or seven percent of the total pledge or gift depending on the number of years taken to pay the full amount. The match will provide student awards while the donor’s gifts generate interest.

Serving New Generations

A Source of Opportunity

St. John’s remains committed to serving all deserving students, including those from financially strapped families. For example,

• More than one-third of the annual operating budget supports student assistance;
• In 2016, 96 percent of undergraduates received $497 million in aid;
• In addition, the University froze tuition and fees at its Staten Island campus for the 2015–16 academic year.

Yet rising costs present new challenges for many working and middle-class students—especially those who are the first in their families to attend college. At St. John’s, about 40 percent of entering freshmen in 2016 received federal Pell Grants for highest need.

The Partners for Student Success Scholarship Program will help new generations of entering freshmen to meet the costs associated with a St. John’s education.

Endowing a scholarship is a unique and memorable way to recognize a loved one or someone who has made a significant difference in your life.  The minimum funding level for an endowed scholarship is $50,000, which can be established through a one-time gift or by making a pledge to the University.

Once you have reached the minimum funding level, you will receive an annual report from the Office of Donor Relations detailing the status of your scholarship and the scholarship recipients.  You will also receive letters of thanks from your recipients annually.

Criteria

Many donors choose to leave the scholarships “unrestricted”, meaning the University has flexibility in awarding the endowment to students with the greatest financial need.  You may also choose to focus your endowment in a particular school or field of study, such as your college and/or major.  Criteria are broadly defined to assure that scholarships are awarded annually.  Here are a few ways to establish criteria:

• By level (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior)
• By grade point average (e.g., minimum G.P.A.  of 3.0)
• By school (e.g., St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, The Peter J. Tobin College of Business, etc.)
• By major (e.g., English, math, finance, accounting)
• By program participation (e.g., global studies, athletics)

Award process

Scholarship recipients are selected by the University’s Office of Financial Aid based on need and/or scholastic achievement and according to the donor’s wishes as stipulated in the Scholarship Agreement.

Naming your Scholarship

You may also choose to name your endowed funds for yourself or in honor or memory of a loved one.  Each grantor is asked to provide a brief bio on themselves and/or the person for whom the scholarship is named.  It helps to ensure the future recipients will be able to know the Grantor’s wishes.

Donors who establish scholarships impact the lives of students and help to secure the future of St. John’s!

An expendable scholarship (award fund) can be established with a minimum of $5,000.  The fund does not accrue interest and can only be awarded based upon the available balance.  For example, an expendable scholarship with a balance of $5,000 could provide up to $5,000 in assistance.

Criteria

Expendable scholarships may include a number of criteria, however please keep in mind that the more broadly defined the criteria is, the easier it is to award.  Here are a few ways to establish criteria:

• By level (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior)
• By grade point average (e.g., minimum G.P.A.  of 3.0)
• By school (e.g., St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, The Peter J. Tobin College of Business, etc.)
• By major (e.g., English, math, finance, accounting)
• By program participation (e.g., global studies, athletics)

Award Process

Scholarship recipients are selected by the University’s Office of Financial Aid based on need and/or scholastic achievement and according to the donor’s wishes as stipulated in the Scholarship Agreement.

Naming your Scholarship

You may also choose to name your endowed funds for yourself or in honor or memory of a loved one.  Each grantor is asked to provide a brief bio on themselves and/or the person for whom the scholarship is named.  It helps to ensure the future recipients will be able to know the Grantor’s wishes.

Donors who establish scholarships impact the lives of students and help to secure the future of St. John’s!

Why I am required to thank somebody for financial aid?
You are being asked to thank the generous alumni and friends of St. John’s who thought of students like you and provided their own funds to establish a scholarship.  As with any gift, a thank you is an expected form of courtesy.

What role does the Writing Center play in my thank you letter?
The Writing Center staff will help you to understand how to shape your letter for its intended audience and purpose.  The consultants will also help you learn strategies for developing, revising and editing your letter.

How do I make an appointment with the Writing Center?
One of the easiest ways to make an appointment with a Writing Center consultant is through the Writing Center website, stj.mywconline.com.

How do I get my letter onto the UIS*?

Login SJU UIS and log on to the SJU Student Information System by providing your St. John’s User ID and six digit Pin Number. Go to Student Services and Financial Aid icon Endowed Award Appreciation.

Who should my letter to be addressed to?
The Office of Donor Relations will add the appropriate information to your letter in terms of who the letter is addressed once it has been submitted. Please address all letters Dear Donor.

I was told that I could lose my award if the Writing Center does not help me. Why is that?  
The Writing Center, the Office of Donor Relations and the Office of Student Financial Services are all here to help you. Thanking our donors is very important. It is a way for them to know how much their generosity is appreciated and, equally important, a way for them to get to know you on a more personal level. Submitting your letter timely affects your ability to be considered for additional scholarships and or renewals, so be sure to begin your draft and make an appointment with a Writing Center consultant as soon as possible.  Your letter must be submitted within 14 days from the date of the scholarship notification letter that you received from the Office of Student Financial Services.  If you need an extension you are asked to contact Sammantha McCalla, Office of Donor Relations at (718) 990-6038 or [email protected]. 

What happens if I upload to UIS and send the signed letter to the Office of Donor Relations without visiting the Writing Center?
Your thank you letter is shared with the donor of your scholarship. We ask you to visit the Writing Center so that it is well-crafted and professional.  Letters with errors will be returned to you and may jeopardize your award. Visiting the Writing Center is a wonderful resource, and also one of the requirements to which you agreed when accepting your scholarship.

What sort of information do donors like to hear?
Our donors want to hear all about you. What is your major? What brought you to St. John’s University? What are you involved with on- and off-campus? What do you hope to do in the future? What has this scholarship meant to you and how has it helped you? You can talk about your family, where you grew up, etc. The thank you letter is a way for your donor to get to know you as a person and as a student.

Why are letters uploaded to UIS*, emailed and/or sent via interoffice mail?
Letters are uploaded on the UIS to ensure that your award is paid to your account within 48 hours. If the UIS is not working when you are ready to upload your letter, please contact Sammantha McCalla, Office of Donor Relations at (718) 990-6038 or [email protected] so that we can make alternative arrangements. 

When will my award be either disbursed or paid?
