Funding Resources - Financial Aid

Drawing on a Jesuit Catholic educational model 400 years in the making, our faculty members engage each student as an individual. The result is an education that’s as encouraging as it is challenging, enriching and demanding.

Xavier offers need-based graduate grants for students in specific programs. Grants typically range from $180 to $480 per semester. In order to apply for a Graduate Grant, students must be fully admitted and file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year.

The University participates in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, in which borrowers obtain federal loan funds directly from the U.S. Department of Education. Loans are borrowed money and must be repaid by the student.

Graduate assistantship (GA) positions are available in many offices and departments on campus and provide an opportunity to gain valuable professional experience.

The FAFSA form typically becomes available on October 1 for the next school year. For the 2024-2025 school year, the FAFSA form was delayed due to changes being made to the form and its processing systems. We encourage you to fill out the 2024-20254 FAFSA form by March 1, 2024 to apply for aid for the 2024-2025 academic year. Be sure to list Xavier's federal school code: 003144. Visit the Office of Student Financial Services web page to read about the new FAFSA form.
