Most students complete their degrees with financial help along the way. Here, we鈥檝e outlined some common ways students save and finance their tuition.
We offer a breadth of scholarships specifically for adult online students, including new students, current students and students enrolled within specific programs. Learn more about what鈥檚 available and how to apply.
Many students apply for financial aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). We recommend applying early for maximum consideration.
We鈥檝e partnered with more than 120 corporations nationwide, including BJC Healthcare, SSM Health and Boeing.
You may be eligible for a 15% discount on your tuition in a fully online bachelor鈥檚 or master鈥檚 degree program within SLU鈥檚 SPS if your employer is one of our partners, either through EdAssist or direct partnerships.
We offer special payment arrangements for students whose employers reimburse tuition after course completion.
You must submit documentation indicating your employer鈥檚 reimbursement policy and how much you鈥檙e eligible for before the beginning of each semester that the deferred payment option is used. Tuition or fees not paid by the employer are due on the regular payment due dates.
Deferred Payment Dates 2024 - 2025
- Summer 2024: Sept. 3, 2024
- Fall 1, 2024: Dec. 2, 2024
- Fall 2, 2024: Feb. 5, 2025
- Spring 1, 2025: May 5, 2025
- Spring 2, 2025: May 22, 2025
Under this option, you are responsible for the full tuition amount, whether or not the reimbursement is received. Additionally, a monthly finance charge of 1% will be assessed on open balances after the deferred payment due date. Payment must be received before the deferred deadline to ensure continued eligibility for deferment and prevent late fees and holds on future registration.
SPS provides a tuition deferment form (PDF) to fill out and submit to assist with the process. Direct questions or submit the completed form to Carolyn Merkel at 314-977-2405 or carolyn.merkel@slu.edu.
