The Financial Aid Committee reviews applications in February of each year. Decision notifications for all financial aid
applications are completed at the same time as an admission decision whenever possible to allow a family
to have financial information when making their decision about enrolling in Villanova.
Financial aid is an annual assessment.
Please note the two different financial aid application below. International students, whose families do not file taxes in the US, have an International Student Financial Aid Application. For domestic students, the "SSS" online Financial Aid Application will prompt you to upload recently filed taxes and other supporting documents. Once you have submitted your application, the Financial Aid Committee will reach out if there are further questions.
All domestic financial aid applicants use the SSS system, an independent, outsourced, online financial aid application. You will be asked to upload supporting documents like recently filed taxes and W-2s at the end of the online application. The Villanova "partner" school code on SSS is 7949 (you can also search for Villanova as you get started on SSS).
Villanova makes every effort to meet the needs of all eligible applicants. However, decisions are influenced by the availability of school resources, the number of qualified applicants, and overall budgetary constraints.
Villanova actively seeks students with academic promise and a range of talents, skills and interests and we believe that financial status shouldn’t stop the student from attending. Villanova uses the online analysis system of School and Student Services (SSS) to assess need. The school defines “need” as the difference between the total cost of attendance at Villanova and a family’s ability to pay that cost. The need assessment is based upon a comprehensive set of factors including income and family expenses, assets and liabilities, family size, cost of living and the number of children for whom a family must pay tuition.
