ST. BONAVENTURE UNIVERSITY PREPAID TUITION PLAN
In order to help parents deal with rising tuition, St. Bonaventure offers parents the opportunity to pay their student's entire undergraduate tuition in advance, locking in the current price. With the national average tuition increase projected, this is an attractive tax-free "return" on your money. Students must be accepted for full-time undergraduate enrollment and not be eligible for financial aid to qualify.

PAYMENT PLANS
St. Bonaventure University understands that sometimes you need some help managing your tuition bill. That’s why we offer the St. Bonaventure University tuition payment plan administered by Sallie Mae®. Payment plans are convenient, manageable payment solutions that give you the option to pay tuition in interest-free monthly installments, rather than one lump sum. Tuition payment plans offer:
- More time to pay. Spread your tuition payments over a period of several months
- Interest savings. Use a payment plan to make monthly payments, interest free. You can also use a plan in conjunction with traditional student loans and
financial aid
- Convenience. You can enroll in a plan, manage your account and make payments online, 24 hours a day
Plan Terms: Tuition payment plans administered by Sallie Mae offer you the opportunity to pay your tuition, interest free, in 10 or 9 payments, beginning 6/1 or 7/1, respectively.
There is a $55 application fee to enroll in the TuitionPay Plan. School statements for the Fall term will be sent in July, 2012, with a payment due date of August 1, 2012 to St. Bonaventure University. Please use the worksheet on the TuitionPay enrollment site to calculate the amount of your TuitionPay Plan.
