Welcome to Misericordia University's Student Financial Services Office.

Our mission is to provide our students and parents with the information, support and guidance needed to make the financial aid process easy and stress free. We hope that our website answers your questions about financial aid. Please feel free to contact us at anytime at 1-866-262-6363 or finaid@misericordia.edu. We look forward to serving you.  

For over 84 years, Misericordia University has helped students and parents afford a superior college education. Through its participation in federal and state financial aid programs, use of institutional resources and contributions by alumni and friends, the student financial services office tries to meet , as fully as possible, each student's financial need.

The university is eligible to participate in a full range of financial aid programs through the U.S. Department of Education. University scholarship and grant programs can make a difference in your "bottom line" cost. Depending on family income and other factors, Federal, State and University grant programs can have a significant impact on the amount you actually pay for a quality Misericordia education. 

The Application Process - All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must file the following two forms.

Misericordia University Application for Admittance - New students should complete and submit the application for financial assistance which is attached to the admissions application. All aid for which a student wishes to be considered should be indicated on the application. The application is then returned to the Admissions Office..www.misericordia.edu/apply

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA  - All students, regardless of their state of legal residence, must submit a "Free Application for Federal Student Aid." The University uses the information collected on this application to determine eligibility for federal Stafford and Parent Plus loans as well as university administered need-based programs, including Perkins Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Nursing Loans and Work-Study.  Out of state students should check with their high school or state agency to determine eligibility for a grant from the home state.  www.fafsa.ed.gov
