Finanical Aid Information

Marywood participates in all established programs of federal/state financial aid, which includes the following: Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Stafford Loans, and Federal Work-Study Programs. Parents can borrow under the Federal Parent Loan (PLUS) Program.

Students who are residents of Pennsylvania can apply for the PHEAA State Grant; residents of other states can apply through their respective State Higher Education Assistance Agency for state grant/scholarship consideration. Students should also investigate other
scholarships/grants available through local, civic, religious and fraternal organizations, as well as Veterans Benefits or Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) funds, if eligible. Students are personally responsible for contacting these agencies directly.

Financial Aid Application Procedures

1. Apply for Admission.
2. File the Marywood Undergraduate Financial Aid Application with the Office of Financial Aid by February 15 (fall semester entry) or November 1 (spring semester entry).
3. File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by February 15 (fall semester entry) or November 1 (spring semester entry). This application can be accessed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

All federal, state, and need-based financial aid is awarded for an academic year period only. Using the FAFSA, students must reapply each academic year, if they wish to continue receiving such assistance. The deadline for upperclassmen applications is usually April 15. If one misses the deadline date (either for incoming freshmen/transfer students or upperclassmen), certain funds may not be available.
