Scholarships and Financial Aid
Siena offers generous merit scholarships that reward academic achievement, leadership, and involvement—no separate application required. Nearly 100% of accepted students receive financial aid, and our average merit award makes Siena highly competitive with both public and private institutions.

A Siena education pays off. From your first year, you’ll have access to internships, research, service, and global learning opportunities that build your résumé before graduation. Our Career Center and alumni network offers one-on-one support to help you land high-impact jobs or admission into top graduate programs. 

Support and Community
Siena’s Franciscan community is defined by connection, purpose, and support. Professors know your name. Mentors are invested in your goals. Whether you arrive with a clear path or are still exploring, you’ll be guided every step of the way—academically, professionally, and personally.

At Siena, you don’t just prepare for success—you experience it before you graduate.

Visit us

Hands down, the best way to know if you belong here is to visit. Sit by the fire pit on the Paddock. Attend a class. See the brand new $35 million science center. Take in the Million Dollar View from the Standish Library, and eat in a dining hall. We’d love to have you. Schedule a visit.
