No man interested in Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary should hesitate to apply because of financial circumstances. The Financial Aid Department will help make it financially possible for an applicant to enroll.

Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary’s Financial Aid Department coordinates the awarding of institutional funds with aid from government agencies. Thus, financial aid is usually awarded in “packages” (combinations of “gifts” and “self-help”) according to federal, state, and seminary regulations. Each “package” is individually designed according to the seminarian’s (or family’s) financial need.

Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary participates in the Federal Direct Student Loan Programs, the Federal Pell Grant Program, the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program, and the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) Grant Program. Besides these federal and state programs, financial aid may also be provided by private donors and foundations. All these dollars are disbursed in the form of grants, scholarships and loans. Saint Charles Borromeo is a VA eligible institution.

Grants and scholarships are “gifts” to the seminarian which do not have to be repaid. These two forms of aid may carry certain requirements which the seminarian must meet in order to qualify. Loans are monies which must be repaid to the Federal Government by the seminarian after graduation. These are usually characterized by interest rates and monthly payments which are much lower than personal loans.

If you have not already done so, please complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form (available online at www.fafsa.gov).

Any questions regarding financial aid can be directed to the Financial Aid Office at 610-785-6582.
