From what I understand, SCU is considered relatively stingy with financial aid of all sorts. However, with your household income, I’m sure that you will receiving a solid financial aid package based on need. I recommend that you apply and then discuss financial aid then. This holds true at all schools – most will give you only a hazy picture about estimated financial aid before you submit your application.

According to this, you may be eligible for an application fee waiver if you are eligible for an SAT waiver:

If money is a top concern, I recommend applying to as many schools as possible. This gives you more options once financial aid packages start coming in.

Good luck!
