St. John Vianney College Seminary

What is the cost of studying for a year at St. John Vianney College Seminary?

For 2024-25, reported full-time tuition at St. John Vianney College Seminary was $25,500 for both in-state and out-of-state undergraduates, with no separately reported required fees. Tuition is only one part of the amount a residential student may need to budget.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $25,500 for the academic year.
• Reported room and board: $14,500 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $800 for the academic year.

Those categories total $40,800 before transportation, personal expenses, and any other individual costs. This is a combination of reported charges and estimates, not a personalized bill or a net price after assistance. Applicants should obtain a current-year cost statement and a written explanation of what their diocese, religious community, family, or other funding source would actually cover.

Financing deserves particular attention because seminary sponsorship and student aid are not the same thing. Reported loan use among students was 0%, which does not establish that borrowing is unavailable or that every student's costs are fully covered. Students should ask the financial aid office which federal, state, or institutional programs they can use, what application is required, and how any sponsorship affects their remaining balance.

What are the work-study opportunities at St. John Vianney College Seminary?

St. John Vianney College Seminary reports individual career counseling for undergraduates and an internship requirement. Those provisions are relevant to a program built around vocational discernment, but an internship should not be mistaken for a paid job or a guaranteed employment outcome.

Students seeking income during the academic year should distinguish an ordinary part-time position from Federal Work-Study, which is a need-based financial aid program with its own eligibility and job-placement rules. Before relying on either option, a prospective student should confirm whether positions are offered, whether they may work outside campus, and how work hours fit academic, residential, and pastoral commitments.
