In addition to setting affordable tuition rates, SFBU offers tuition scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate students. Because we’re not just trying to lower the common barriers to a college education — we’re committed to removing them altogether.

Undergraduate Tuition Scholarships

We consider all future SFBU students for tuition scholarships with the submission of their admissions application — and we don’t require any supplementary materials. Scholarships are available on a first-come, first-served basis and will be awarded based on funding availability. For Fall 2025: Submit your enrollment deposit by May 1 to secure your scholarship.
