Financial Aid

We know that the cost of your education can be an issue. We want you to know that a
Misericordia education is an affordable education. In fact, most consider it a great
value. Our graduation rate is very high, so you’re likely to have a great experience at the
University, yet earn your degree and be out in the work force ahead of students who
attend larger institutions. We’ve also made every effort to keep tuition costs
reasonable, yet offer a highly personalized education with all the services you want at a
student. Nearly 97 percent of all Misericordia students receive financial aid. Check out
our current Tuition and Fees but read on to find out more about our Financial Aid
options.

Much has been said about the price of a college education but Misericordia University scholarships and grant programs can make a difference in your "bottom line" cost!

Depending on family income and other factors, Federal, State and College 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.

It is Misericordia University’s philosophy that students of ability should have the opportunity to attend the university of their choice regardless of family income. For over seventy years, Misericordia University has helped students and parents afford a superior university education.

The University participates in a number of financial aid programs. These programs generate funds from Federal, State and College resources.

Opportunity Grants, Perkins Loans and the Federal WorkStudy Program.
