We recommend that applicants begin the financial aid process when applying for admission. The priority deadline for the Fall semester is March 15. The deadline for Spring is November 1. Financial Aid applications submitted after the deadlines will be considered in the order received and according to academic merit, need, and the availability of funds.
The Franciscan School of Theology utilizes the University of San Diego’s financial aid department to provide financial aid guidance and support to our student body. All prospective and current students have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a USD financial aid officer which can be done virtually via Zoom or in person.
The Franciscan School of Theology offers scholarships based on financial need and academic merit. Additionally, we offer two special programs for employees of Catholic institutions and professed members of the Secular Franciscan Order offered to full-time on-campus degree programs only.
FST participates in the Federal Direct Loan Program, open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
