Financial Aid

We believe in an affordable college experience. 

Saint Joe Indy provides a two-year college option for students to earn an associate's degree with little or no debt. In order to take advantage of available financial aid resources, students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Students may be eligible for the majority of your annual tuition to be covered through federal and state grants, and 21st Century Scholarships. The portion of the tuition not covered by grants can easily be paid through scholarships, or our earn and learn internship program.

  • includes meal plan

Through our earn and learn program, you will be able to earn taxable income that can help cover minimal tuition costs and other personal expenses. We connect you with local employers for paid work experience in your industry and offer flexible class schedules.

Housing

Students are expected to live at home with their families, eliminating room and board expenses. Marian University’s Saint Joseph’s College will also help students secure outside employment opportunities, allowing them to earn additional funds to cover minimal tuition costs and other personal expenses.
