Graduate school can be affordable with the right financial planning and support.

St. Thomas is committed to assisting our graduate students in finding the financial aid options that best suit their needs. Financial aid is awarded based on the average costs for a student attending specific graduate programs and the financial aid types for which an individual student is eligible. Some financial aid awards are determined by the academic departments and reported to the Graduate Financial Aid Office.

In no case can the total dollar amount of all combined financial aid awards exceed the total cost of attendance budget for the program as determined by the Graduate Financial Aid Office, but adjustments to financial aid eligibility can be reviewed on a case by case basis to consider special or unusual circumstances.

We encourage you to contact our office and have a conversation with either Becky Stevenson or Chad Nosbusch to review your financial aid options.
