The Admission Committee evaluates a candidate in the following areas:

• Course selection based upon level of difficulty 
• Grade Point Average 
• SAT or ACT scores 
• Class rank (if available) 
• Extracurricular activities

Saint Vincent College operates on a rolling admission basis. Once we receive an application for admission, the committee begins to evaluate the credentials of the student. Typically, the review process is completed within a two week period.

Our student population is approximately 1800 students. The male to female ratio is 52/48.

 SVC is located in the small town of Latrobe, PA (about 9,500 residents) which is 35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. It takes about 50 minutes to travel to downtown Pittsburgh from Latrobe.

 There is one faculty member for every 13 students at Saint Vincent College.

Saint Vincent College offers both merit based aid and need based aid. The merit based money includes: Academic and Leadership Scholarships along with all of the scholarships listed on the Financial Aid Brochure. With the exception of the Wimmer Exam, the scholarships and competitions listed on the brochure are open to all students. To apply for need based aid, which includes Federal, State and Institutional grants and loans, students and their parents must complete the Free Application for Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1. This is the only form needed to apply for aid at Saint Vincent College and directions on how and when to complete it are on the back of the Financial Aid Brochure.

Due to our membership in the President's Athletic Conference (NCAA Division III), SVC does not offer Athletic Scholarships. However, our financial aid packages are designed to make attending SVC as affordable as possible.

For the 2012/2013 school year the costs are as follows:

• Tuition and Fees: $30,129 
• Room and Board: $9,594
• Total: $39,723

The only way to determine your eligibility is to submit an application for financial aid. The likelihood of receiving some form of financial aid is probably better than most students and their families anticipate. Generally approximately 90% of the student population receives some form of financial aid. 

You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). 

If you took the SAT test during your Junior year in high school, you should automatically receive the application in the mail. They can also be obtained from your High School Guidance office, or we will be glad to mail you one. 

Complete and mail the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1st. Our preferred deadline is March 1. To be considered for the state grant (PA residents only), you must file before May 1.
