In addition to setting affordable tuition rates, SFBU offers extensive scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate students. Because we’re not just trying to lower the common barriers to a college education — we’re committed to removing them altogether.

Undergraduate Scholarships

We consider all future SFBU students for scholarships with the submission of their admissions application — and we don’t require any supplementary materials. We award scholarships based on a holistic review of each applicant's academic, professional and personal abilities.

Need-Based Financial Aid

Because SFBU does not receive federal aid, we do not require students to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with their application. However, students who complete the FAFSA during the application process for other institutions may submit their FAFSA-generated Student Aid Index (SAI) in order to qualify for additional need-based aid given directly by SFBU. Contact the Admissions Team for more information.
