Endowed Scholarships
Endowed Scholarships are created through a gift made to the College’s endowment, and follow a formula where the interest earned from endowment performance is dedicated toward scholarship aid. Each year there are more than 100 endowed scholarships awarded to Saint Peter’s students. There are both partial and full scholarships funded through this program.

Annual Scholarships
Annual Scholarships are funded through the generosity of donors that prefer their gifts be awarded to students in full when the gift is made. Much like endowed scholarships, the annual scholarship program offers students aid critical to their success and honors the life or memory of a named designee.
