Let's face it—a college education isn't cheap. But it is an investment, and the quality of that investment can impact your future. While the dollars and cents are certainly important, it is also critical to consider the value of the education you will receive.

A "Best Value" in Private Education

Saint Leo has been designated as a Best Regional University – South Region by U.S. News & World Report for two consecutive years. Our tuition is significantly lower than the average private college tuition.

And keep in mind: 93% of all Saint Leo students at our University Campus receive some form of financial aid. You may qualify for institutional aid from Saint Leo, as well as other state and federal programs including grants, loans and work-study.

We understand the financial aid process can still be challenging. That's why your Saint Leo admission counselor and financial aid advisor will work personally with you and your family to help navigate the process.
