Catholic Employee Scholarship

Applicants employed in Catholic schools, parishes, religious orders, or related institutions may be eligible for a 25% scholarship or up to 50% matching funds from FST equal to their employer’s contribution. Both degree and non-degree students taking courses for full credit qualify for this program. Students receiving other financial aid do not qualify for this discount.

Professed Members of the Secular Franciscan Order (OFS) Scholarship

The particular and special relationship to those professed in the life of St. Francis motivates FST to extend financial support to professed members of the Secular Franciscan Order (OFS). OFS applicants may be eligible for either a 25% reduction in tuition or up to 50% matching funds from FST when a fraternity contributes to their tuition. Both degree and non-degree students taking courses for full credit qualify for this program. Students receiving other financial aid do not qualify for this discount.
