Types of Financial Aid

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, financial need, 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.

Types of Aid

Loans
