APPLYING FOR AID
INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL AID
Saint Paul College financial aid is available to help students finance the cost of an education. Most students are eligible for financial aid.
Saint Paul College School Code: 005533
Financial aid comes in the form of grants (money that the student does not have to pay back), loans (money that the student must pay back) and college work-study (money the student earns through employment).
Eligibility is determined from the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

FINANCIAL AID DEFINITIONS
The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, FAFSA. This is the application for all types of financial aid: grants, loans, or college work-study.
More information about financial aid resources is available on the Federal Student Aid website.
The cost of education includes tuition, fees, a room and board allowance, books, supplies, a transportation allowance, and a personal expense allowance.
2024 – 2025 Cost of Attendance – Direct Cost (based on 15 credits)
2024 – 2025 Cost of Attendance – Indirect Cost
Total for Terms
An amount, determined by a formula called Federal Methodology, indicates how much of the student and his or her family’s resources should be available to help pay for school. The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is now called the Student Aid Index (SAI). This change aims to better reflect the purpose of the financial aid process. If a student has unusual expenses that may affect his or her ability to pay for school, the student should complete the Professional Judgement Appeal – Special Circumstances Income Adjustment.
Financial need is the difference between the cost of education and the expected family contribution calculated by the federal processing center.
The Pell Grant is no longer determined by your enrollment level (full-time, part-time, etc.). The Pell Grant and Minnesota State Grant is based on the exact number of credits you are registered for.

Financial aid is intended to supplement the difference between the cost of education and the expected family contribution. The student and his or her family have the primary responsibility to pay for the student’s education. Several resources are available to help students meet their educational expenses.
