  • You can only receive the Visit Grant once for an official campus visit with the Office of Undergraduate Admission or by attending an XU Preview admitted student day.
  • Unless otherwise stated, grants are renewable for up to four years while an undergraduate student at Xavier (ex. a $1,000 grant would be worth $4,000 across four years).
