Case Studies

Not every student will receive every type of aid, but the majority of CSM students are eligible for some form of financial aid. Here are some Case Studies to demonstrate how you or your daughter may fare at College of Saint Mary. Although we cannot always meet full financial need, we do come close in most cases. These are based upon estimated full-time tuition, fees, room and board costs of $29,000 per year. The Special Admissions Awards are not reflected here, as they are new to the 2009-2010 academic year.  

  

Case #1:
