How our Admission and Financial Aid Teams Can Help You

A St. Edward’s education is personalized and supportive — and those values begin with the admission process. We understand there are complicated aspects of applying to college, and we are here to help.

Your admission counselor and financial services counselor will listen to your concerns and answer your questions about application requirements, financial issues, and life at St. Edward’s and in Austin.

We want to work with you. Here are 6 ways we can help.

  1

Your admission counselor can answer your questions about any aspect of the application. We believe in providing clear information about what we’re looking for in your academic record and why (for example, our “test optional” policy and our new Texas core complete policy). If you’re confused about the application process or want to discuss a particular aspect of your record, please get in touch.

  2

Your admission counselor can connect you with a faculty member who teaches in your major or a current student who’s studying that subject. Or we can connect you with a student from your high school or region who attends St. Edward’s. Get a sense of what life is like on our campus by visiting in person or virtually.

A Financial Aid Counselor can talk with you about how to fill out the FAFSA (or CSS Profile for international students) and how St. Edward’s uses the information to offer you financial aid. The FAFSA opens in the fall semester, and our priority deadline for you to complete it is Mar. 1. If you’re unsure whether you should fill out the FAFSA, we encourage you to do so: virtually every family who completes the FAFSA receives at least a small award from St. Edward’s. When you fill it out, be sure to use our school code, 003621.

Once you’ve completed the FAFSA (or CSS Profile for international students) and received your financial aid award, we can answer questions about the grants, loans or campus jobs you’ve been offered and make sure you understand exactly what it would cost to attend St. Edward’s. We can also help you compare financial aid awards and the cost of attendance at different schools, so you are making decisions based on a true apples-to-apples comparison.

If you have questions about how St. Edward’s is keeping the Hilltop healthy during this time, your admission counselor can help. We continue to make decisions based on expert advice and what’s safest for our community. Learn more about our Health and Counseling Center.
