Grants are financial aid awards based on demonstrated need (filing a FAFSA is required). Tuition discounts are available to divinity students and members of Roman Catholic religious orders, and siblings of current Seton Hall students.

A grant, unlike a loan, is an outright gift that does not require payment. It is similar to a scholarship except that scholarships are generally awarded for outstanding academic achievement.
