But before you apply online for financial aid, you will need to learn more about how we determine financial aid, the cost of attendance, university tuition and fees, the Student Right to Know Act and how you will be informed about your financial aid through your award notification. You should also review how to maintain your financial aid eligibility by making satisfactory academic progress.  Or how to contact the Santa Clara University Financial Aid Office for information about student funding and the Bursar's Office about billing and payment.
