Need-Based Financial Aid
Each year, we offer more than $5 million in financial aid to 35 percent of our student body. Choosing Gonzaga is an investment in your son’s future. We are dedicated to partnering with you to make this investment possible. True to our Jesuit identity, financial aid at Gonzaga is not just about numbers; it’s about opportunity, access, and a commitment to shaping the lives of young men who will go on to make a difference in the world.
We encourage any family who thinks they may need assistance to apply for need-based financial aid. Financial aid applications for the 2026-2027 academic year will be submitted through Blackbaud Financial Aid Management. The application deadlines for both incoming and returning families will be shared in the fall, but typically incoming families apply in December and returning families apply in January. As a reminder, you must submit a financial aid application each year to be considered for assistance. Returning families can access financial aid instructions through the tile on their parent resource board on Gonzaga's website.
Please know the single most important step in the financial aid process is to submit a completed application on time. For prospective families, it is important to submit this application at the same time as your son’s admission application. If you seek financial aid after your son has been accepted, please know financial aid funds have already been fully distributed.
For any questions regarding the financial aid account creation, application, or submission process, please contact Blackbaud Financial Aid Management directly at 800-360-8027 or financialaidsupport@blackbaud.school.
If you have any questions about the timeline, process, or awards, please contact the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid at the school at 202-336-7101 or admissions@gonzaga.org.
