The Office of Admissions and Financial Aid supports Weston Jesuit’s mission “to serve Christ’s Church in its task of spreading the Gospel by preparing women and men for ministry as priests, lay ministers, and vowed religious in the Roman Catholic tradition, and by supporting theological research and reflection.” The Office is purposefully engaged in attracting graduate-level applicants who manifest strong academic aptitude, religious conviction, and personal maturity – individuals who value the Jesuit ideal of finding God in all things.
Weston Jesuit enrolls an extraordinary group of men and women of all ages and from many nations, be they committed laity or ordained and vowed religious. Their undergraduate experiences range from small liberal arts colleges and Jesuit universities, to Ivy League schools and state universities.
Weston Jesuit is committed to offering graduate students meaningful financial aid through scholarships and grants that enable them to learn and grow while at Weston, and to serve the diverse needs of the Church as graduates.
