Expenses and Financial Policies

The University of St. Francis is a non-profit corporation deriving its income from sources that include the contributions of the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate, the gifts of alumni, faculty, business, industry, and other friends, and student tuition and fees. Since the tuition paid by the students is less than the cost incurred by the University in providing their education, the students are the beneficiaries of many persons who contribute to their educational development. University fiscal charges become effective with the beginning of the fiscal year that starts on June 1.

Expenses 

Current information on tuition, fees, and payment programs can be found on the university Business Office website: stfrancis.edu/finaid/tuition.
