Financial Aid

Welcome to Niagara University’s Office of Financial Aid!

In the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul, who dedicated his life to serving those less fortunate, Niagara is committed to helping students and their families afford an exceptional college education. We understand that college is a significant investment, and our office works hard to make that investment as affordable as possible. In fact, approximately 98 percent of our financial aid applicants receive some form of monetary assistance via institutional, federal, state, or private sources.

Our experienced staff is here to guide you every step of the way throughout the financial aid process. Using our extensive knowledge of traditional and alternative loan sources, payment plans and scholarship opportunities, we work closely with students and their families to explore the many different resources available for financing an education.

Over a lifetime, the benefits of a quality college education, especially from Niagara University, will far exceed its costs, and that is why we present one of the most comprehensive financial aid programs in the nation. The information on the following pages will help you to see how affordable a Niagara University education can be. When you consider the generous academic scholarship awards and the availability of financial aid based on need, you will understand why the net cost is so manageable.

At the end of the day, our goal is to provide you with a positive, caring environment so that you can grow to your potential as a well-educated and well-balanced individual, regardless of your economic or social background. Throughout the years, we have helped thousands of students make the dream of obtaining a Niagara education a reality. We probably can help you, too.
