Xavier (OH)
Decision sheet
Ohio · Research checked 2026-07-02 · School research, not an aid offer
The starting point
Cincinnati Jesuit private whose automatic academic awards run $23,000 to $33,000 a year for any admitted student, with a small slate of competitive flagship awards (St. Francis Xavier, Brueggeman Fellows) sitting above the automatic grid.
Published academic criteria. These awards are recorded as automatic on academic criteria. Match the published grades and scores, then check residency, entering year and every additional condition.
Awards to discuss

Ask before you decide
- Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
- What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
- How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?
Recorded stacking policy: Previously awarded federal or institutional aid (or the outside scholarship itself) is reduced only when adding the new scholarship would cause total aid to exceed cost of attendance, or when accepting it would violate the outside provider's own award terms; the published policy does not describe different treatment by aid type or program at Xavier.

The research date is not a guarantee that a policy still applies. Confirm current amounts, deadlines and conditions with the school before making a financial decision.
