Financial Aid

Much has been said about the price of a college education. Misericordia 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. Work study opportunities and loan programs provide additional financial assistance to many of our students.
