St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia and Trinity High School have partnered to offer Trinity students guaranteed admission to SJU.
SJU will grant admission to Trinity students who have a cumulative weighted GPA of 3.75 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
- For students applying as a Nursing or Physician Studies-Health Science major, or as
a major in the Direct Entry programs of Master of Occupational Therapy, Doctor of
Occupational Therapy, Doctor of Physical Therapy or Doctor of Pharmacy, these
additional requirements:
1. Completion of two years of algebra and one year of geometry (a higher-
level math is encouraged in senior year, e.g., trigonometry, pre-calculus,
calculus) and three years of science with a lab;
2. Cumulative weighted math and science GPA of 3.00 or higher on a 4.0
scale.
- Students must apply using the Early Action or Early Decision Application (Common App,
Coalition for College, or SJU App) by November 15 of their senior year in high school.
1. The Early Action Application requires the following documentation: a personal
essay, academic transcript through the end of junior year of high school, one
academic letter of recommendation.
2. Standardized tests are optional, but must be completed by November 15 in order
to apply under the Program.
3. Students must submit application materials in compliance with SJU’s policies and
procedures.
- Students who apply under the Program will receive an automatic invitation to
apply subsequently to SJU’s Honors Program (but are not guaranteed admission to the
Honors Program).
Students who meet the eligibility requirements will be admitted to SJU in its complete and sole discretion. Nothing in this agreement shall entitle any student applying under the Program for a waiver of any SJU admission or enrollment processes or requirements. SJU will consider the following in its admissions decisions:
- All documentation submitted, including but not limited to the personal essay and letter of recommendation;
- Any violations of Trinity's behavioral or academic standards, or policies or
procedures; any disciplinary actions taken by Trinity; any reports of criminal matters.
Students who matriculate at SJU as a result of the Program (with the exception of Doctor of Pharmacy majors*) are eligible for, at minimum, a $30,000, four-year merit scholarship award (total value of $120,000) plus a $5,000, four-year excellence award (total value
of $20,000).
- *PharmD majors are awarded merit scholarships and excellence awards only for the first
two years of undergraduate enrollment, as tuition significantly decreases in the third and
fourth years (Professional-1 and Professional-2).
