Gateway Tuition Program

Gateway Tuition Program

At Saint Peter’s University, we believe a  great education should be within everyone’s reach. That is why we created the Gateway Tuition Free Program – a unique opportunity that allows qualified students to earn their degree without paying tuition and comprehensive fees.

Imagine being able to earn your college degree without the stress of tuition costs. Our Gateway Tuition Free Program makes that possible! This provides a pathway for you to focus on your future and not your finances.

If your family’s adjusted gross income is $100,000 or less and you are eligible to take advantage of the Federal Pell Grant and New Jersey’s Tuition Aid Grant (TAG), you may qualify for this incredible opportunity to attend Saint Peter’s University tuition free.

Eligibility requirements:

  • Filed your FAFSA
  • U.S. citizen or permanent resident
  • New Jersey Resident
  • Have been admitted as a first-time, full time undergraduate or transfer student
  • Family adjusted gross income of $100,000 or less

What is covered:

  • 100% tuition and comprehensive fees

(after federal and state grants are applied)

Rooted in our Jesuit tradition of service, excellence and care for the whole person (cura personalis),  the Gateway Program empowers you to pursue your goals and become a leader who will make an impact in your community and beyond.



**Please note: The Gateway Tuition Free Program is a last dollar grant that covers remaining tuition costs after all merit, federal and state aid is exhausted. Room and board, books, meal plans, course and orientation fees, as well as personal expenses are not covered.  Students must file the FAFSA each year they are in attendance, must maintain full time status and meet satisfactory academic progress requirements as well as be eligible for Pell and TAG. Program terms are subject to change based on federal /state funding and university policy**
