Process
We Make it Simple
Our application for admission has no fee; you’re automatically considered for merit-based scholarships when you apply; and we recommend families complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)*
* If your family is not eligible to submit the FAFSA (due to citizenship status, for example), you must complete and submit the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE to be considered for need-based financial aid at Gustavus.
