Tuition Assistance for Returning Students

For Returning Students

Thanks to the generosity of alumni, current and past parents, and friends of Xavier, we are able to provide more than $4.5 million in tuition assistance to families in need for the 2024-25 academic year.

Xavier is committed to making a Jesuit education possible for all students regardless of financial circumstances, and we will try our best to meet the expressed need of every family. We will partner with FACTS to process all financial aid applications submitted during the 2024-25 school year.

If you need emergency aid for the 2024-25 school year, please email Luciano Lovallo, Director of Admissions and Financial Aid, or call (212) 924-7900, ext. 1602 to discuss your options.

Before you start your application...

Review the FAQs below carefully, particularly if you own a business, are a single parent, or you are legally divorced or separated. If a student has two households (whether divorced or separated), each household must create a separate FACTS account and submit a separate FACTS application. All biological parents, both custodial and non-custodial parents, are required to apply for tuition assistance. Xavier will merge the applications, once both are submitted.
Adhering to the FACTS financial aid application deadline of April 15, 2025 is essential, so Xavier can make the tuition assistance award process fair and equitable. FACTS must receive all supporting materials by April 22, 2025, for your son to receive consideration for need-based financial aid for the 2025-2026 academic year.
If you need the Financial Aid Policy FAQs provided to you in a language other than English or Spanish, please contact the Admissions Office.
Currently enrolled families applying for an applicant in the Class of 2028 should only submit one FACTS application annually. Please list all students on the application. You will need to upload the 2024 taxes to FACTS by April 22, 2025, so the Financial Aid Committee can consider your currently enrolled son(s) for tuition assistance. See Step 1 below for information you must submit for your currently enrolled son(s). Please do not email documentation directly to Luciano Lovallo or to FACTS. By emailing documents, you are exposing yourselves and Xavier to unnecessary risk. If you choose not to upload documents, please send them certified directly to FACTS.

When you apply...

Review the FACTS Quick Guide Worksheet in English or Spanish.
Gather the following documents, if applicable (you will submit these to FACTS after you complete the application):
- A complete copy of your 2024 FEDERAL tax returns including all related schedules (e.g., Schedule A, C, and E), and, if applicable, business tax returns, including K-1s, Form 1065, Form 1120, and Form 1120S.
- A copy of all your related 2024 W2 and/or 1099 for all jobs worked.
- Two most-recent paystubs for all jobs worked in 2025. If you are receiving Social Security, unemployment, or disability compensation, you will need to submit a copy of the two most recent stubs. Please note that obtaining these documents may take some time, so please request them as soon as possible.
- A copy of your most recent mortgage statement, home equity statement, or rental agreement.
- Support documentation for receipt of SNAP or Section 8 housing assistance.
- Documentation regarding child support––court documents or cancelled check copy.
Review the Financial Aid Policies FAQs for 2024-25 (in English or Spanish). This is particularly important if there are more than one household, if you are a single parent, if you are self-employed, or if one parent does not work.
