Giving Opportunities
To educate. To evangelize. To send forth joyful disciples.
This mission drives everything we do at Franciscan University of Steubenville. We believe that the Franciscan community is the key to transforming the culture around us. Join us as we serve our students, rebuild the Church, and change the world.
Our most pressing need is ensuring that all students who dream of a Franciscan education are able to overcome any obstacles to fulfilling that dream. The Step in Faith Annual Fund, President’s Circle, and the Spirit of St. Francis Fund provide the necessary resources to help hopeful students attend our academically excellent and passionately Catholic school.
Step in Faith Annual Fund
Franciscan University has worked hard to keep the cost of tuition low. To a large extent, we've succeeded, with the total cost of a Franciscan education falling well below that of other private four-year schools.
The majority of Franciscan University's students, however, still need substantial financial assistance. For all of Franciscan's students, the burden of heavy student loans can cause indefinite delays in pursuing the vocation or work to which God calls them.
