Admissions
Tuition and Financial Aid
Gonzaga firmly believes that cost should not be a barrier that prevents deserving young men from attending our school—all of Gonzaga’s admissions decisions are made without regard to financial need.
Each year, we offer more than $4.5 million in financial aid to more than one-third of our student body. In keeping with our mission, our aid is primarily distributed on the basis of financial need, although we do offer some merit scholarships as well.
Need-Based Financial Aid
We encourage any family who thinks they may need assistance in affording Gonzaga’s tuition to apply for need-based financial aid. Financial aid applications for the 2024-2025 academic year will be submitted through BlackBaud Financial Aid Management. It is important to note that the deadline for new incoming families AND returning families is December 18th, 2023. The application will be available for new and returning families in early October.
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 1(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.
