True to our Jesuit tradition, which calls for the development of the whole person, the Santa Clara Fund supports students throughout campus in the following areas. This helps cultivate individuals of strong character who can help solve the world's most complex problems in an ethical and compassionate way.
Scholarships
Most undergraduates receive financial support and tuition does not fully cover the cost of an undergraduate education. In fact, nearly 73% of undergraduate students receive financial assistance.
“Thanks to your support through the Santa Clara Fund, everything seems possible here.”
Academic Enhancements
Through enhanced programs, Santa Clara provides students with an education of quality and value. It is no surprise that in a Survey of Recent Graduates, 93% indicated that SCU had provided good to excellent preparation for life after college and 92% indicated good to excellent career preparation.
