Scholarships and Federal Financial Aid

A college education is the best investment you can make. As a Xavier student, you are not just investing in your education, you are investing in a lifetime of continuous learning. You also become a life-long member of a community of learners, teachers, givers and supporters.

To make this investment possible, Xavier offers many different types of financial assistance, including scholarships, grants, student employment and loans. Payment plans also are available to help families manage their payments throughout the school year.
