Scholarships
and Student Loans
To protect the religious integrity and freedom of our Christian institution, the College does not participate, on principle, with any government-sponsored financial aid programs. Instead, a private scholarship organization is available to provide assistance to needy and deserving students. Students may also apply for private student loans through the links at the bottom of the page.
All students seeking any type of financial assistance should begin with the scholarship application listed below. While a limited number of scholarship requests for the graduate program may be considered, most of the listed scholarships apply to the undergraduate program only.
Initial scholarship application deadline is February 1. Late applications will be considered if funds are available. Applicants will be notified of awards on March 1, 2023.
The College uses the CSS Profile through College Board to process all needs-based financial requests. For that scholarship, click here, and use code 3855, or search for New Saint Andrews College by name.
All returning students will also need to send us a letter of recommendation from a local community member.
