How to Apply for Financial Aid
We try to make applying for financial aid at SLU both seamless and manageable for you and your family. Most of the process hinges on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is a free tool that calculates your expected family contribution (EFC). It’s required for need-based assistance or eligibility for low-interest loans. Saint Louis University's FAFSA school code is 002506.
