Students Helping Students Scholarship

FOR 25-26 ACADEMIC YEAR
The Students Helping Students scholarship provides immediate, one-time assistance to Billikens who find themselves in temporary need of emergency funds to stay enrolled in classes and make progress towards graduation. An ideal candidate is an undergraduate who can explain their emergency, provide the exact dollar amount needed, what solutions they have attempted before applying, and how the aid will be specifically used.

Scholarship recipients must have submitted a FAFSA for the current academic year, and international students who do not have a FAFSA on file are still encouraged to apply. Please be sure you have exhausted all financial aid available before applying. This scholarship is facilitated by the Future Alumni Board (FAB), which is a student group in the SLU Office of Alumni Engagement. FAB creates opportunities for the student body to connect with the SLU alumni community and helps students understand that they are sons & daughters of SLU forever.
