Bills for each semester’s tuition and fees are issued by the Student Accounts Manager and can be viewed on the MySJC portal. The portal contains information about payment options, fee statements, and financial aid awards each semester. All tuition, fees, and fines must be paid before a student can register for any semester. Outstanding obligations to the college may result in receipt of a hold placed on the transcript, ineligibility to transfer to the other campus, and an unscripted diploma at commencement.
Transact provides St. John’s College students and families alternative payment options. Transact representatives available at 800-339-8131, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m.–8 p.m. ET. Transact customer service address: smartpaysupport(at)transactcampus.com. International wire transfers can be initiated on flywire.com. Full information about payment options can be found on the MySJC portal, or by contacting the business office.

St. John’s College Grants are awarded only to full-time students who have demonstrated need, as long as funds are available. Special packaging of financial aid is available to students who are full-time teachers through the Teacher Grant Program and the National Educator’s Grant. The National Educator’s Grant is not based on financial need, and students must complete the National Educator Grant application, which is available on our website. In addition to these opportunities for grant funding the Graduate Institute has additional scholarship opportunities such as The Hodson Trust Teacher Fellowship, The Ann Bigham Annual Scholarship, and various Veterans benefits. More detailed information about these financial aid opportunities, including application procedures, can be found here. Students are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office with questions about eligibility and disbursement.
Continuing or returning students who need financial aid should apply for it as early as possible each year, and no later than the following filing dates:
Fall – May 1 Spring – September 1 Summer – March 1
The Robert Augustyniak Memorial Emergency Loan Fund was established through donations to assist graduate students at times when cash reserves are in short supply or suddenly depleted. Loans of up to $500 may be requested through the Graduate Institute. An emergency loan must be repaid to the College prior to the end of the term in which it was received. Recipients will not be allowed to enroll in the subsequent term or receive an official transcript until the loan is repaid. An emergency loan is intended to cover expenses for the following reasons: medical or dental emergencies; unexpected travel (e.g., a family funeral); short-term living crises (e.g., food or housing costs); or other emergency situations. The loan is interest-free, and a student may borrow from the fund more than once, as long as he or she has repaid the earlier loan. A student’s reason for borrowing from the loan fund will be kept confidential.
