Is financial aid available? Financial aid is available on a limited basis. Application forms will be available
after December 15th. Financial aid is awarded based on an applicant’s ability to meet St. Bonaventure’s
requirements for admission and retention and the applicant’s demonstrated financial need. Financial aid
grants are made for one year and may be renewed through the application process. Not all families will
qualify for financial aid; in some cases we cannot supply enough financial aid to meet a family’s needs.
