Financial Aid

For over 98 years, Misericordia University has helped students and their families 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 wide range of financial aid programs through the U.S. Department of Education. Eligible students may qualify for aid through the Federal Pell Grant Program, Federal Student Loan Program, as well as federal campus-based programs including Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, and the Federal Work-study Program.

The university participates in the Nursing Loan program under the auspices of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Misericordia University is also designated as an eligible institution by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), allowing qualified undergraduate students access to the Pennsylvania State Grant and Special Programs.

In general, the university offers three types of financial assistance:

1. Scholarships/Grants: Gift aid given directly to students based on financial need or some area of achievement, such as an outstanding academic record, evidence of leadership, etc. Students do not need to repay this type of aid.
2. Loans: Monies borrowed by students to meet educational expenses. Students and/or their families repay these loans after withdrawal or graduation. Interest is charged on loans and vary with different loan programs.
3. Work-study: Employment which allows eligible students to work on campus and earn money to meet educational expenses.

Application Procedures

All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each award year (Pennsylvania Students-Pennsylvania State Grant Deadline is May 1st). Students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA as soon as it becomes available on October 1st to ensure timely processing of financial aid offer letters and notifications.

The university uses the information collected on the FAFSA form to determine eligibility for university, federal, and state need-based financial aid. This includes University Mission Grants, Room Stipends, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Nursing Loans, Federal Subsidized Loans, Federal Work-Study, Pennsylvania State Grants and Special Programs. Out-of-state students should check with their high school guidance office or state agency to determine eligibility for grant assistance from their home state.

Students must file the FAFSA each academic year to be considered for need-based financial aid and Federal Loans.

Eligibility for academic scholarships is automatically evaluated by a scholarship committee upon admission to the university with no special applications required. 

Veterans

Misericordia University welcomes the opportunity to provide education to veterans of the armed services. The university is approved by the Veterans Administration for the education and training of veterans.

A Covered Individual is any individual who is entitled to educational assistance under chapter 31, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, or chapter 33, Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits. (For a covered individual, the institution will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds due to the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement of a payment from the VA.)

A certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance must be provided to Misericordia University. A “certificate of eligibility” can also include a “Statement of Benefits” obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) website.

Veterans enrolling at the institution for the first time should contact their nearest VA regional office, call 1-888-442-4551 or apply online for educational benefits. This application should be filed six weeks prior to the beginning of the semester. Students must also contact Misericordia’s Student Financial Services Office to initiate the certification process and to request a MU Veteran Benefits Request Form.  The MU Veteran Benefits Request Form must be completed and submitted every semester you wish to receive VA benefits.

Definition of an Academic Year

Financial aid is offered for one academic year. Misericordia University defines its academic year as the period of at least 30 weeks of instructional time that begins on the first day of classes in the fall semester and ends on the last day of examinations in the spring semester. During this period, a full-time undergraduate student would be expected to complete a minimum of 24 credits.

Renewal of Aid

Merit scholarships are renewed annually provided the student maintains a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.75. All other institutional scholarships are renewed annually provided the student demonstrates satisfactory academic progress. Students receiving a Resident Grant or Room Stipend must remain in on-campus housing to renew the scholarship.

Need-based federal, state, and institutional financial aid is re-evaluated and renewed each year providing the student:

• Submits a FAFSA form by May 1 (Pennsylvania Residents Only)
• Demonstrates financial need
• Demonstrates satisfactory academic progress

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

To receive or continue to receive federal, state, or university financial aid, all students must meet certain Academic Progress Requirements.

GPA- A minimum grade point average is required at the end of the academic year:

First-year undergraduates 1.75 GPA

All other undergraduate 2.00 GPA

Graduate level 3.00 GPA

Second Bachelors 2.00 GPA

Recipients of Merit scholarships must maintain a 2.75 GPA.

Pace of Completion– This measurement ensures that a student is completing their program(s) within the maximum time frame allowed. PACE is calculated by dividing total credits earned by total credits attempted and includes accepted transfer and advanced standing credits in both the numerator and denominator. PACE is measured annually at the conclusion of the spring semester.

First and Second Academic Year pace of completion must be a minimum of 65%

Subsequent Academic Years pace of completion must be a minimum of 70%

To view the full Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy, please click here to upload the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

Monitoring Satisfactory Academic Progress

Both PACE and GPA requirements are measured at the end of each spring semester. Students not meeting PACE and/or the minimum GPA will have their financial aid suspended until they earn the sufficient number of credits and/or meet the minimum GPA requirements, or have successfully appealed for an exception to the requirements.

Right to Appeal

If a student feels that satisfactory progress was impossible to attain because of extenuating circumstances, i.e. death in the family, extended illness, etc., the student may appeal. The appeal must explain the extenuating circumstance(s) that led to their academic problems and explain what has changed in their situation that will allow them to make satisfactory progress at the next evaluation. The appeal must be in writing, include supporting documentation, an academic plan completed with the Student Success Center, and be sent to the Student Financial Services Office. The appeal will be reviewed and a decision will be made within 10 days of receipt. Students will be notified of the decision via their Misericordia email.

Academic Progress for Pennsylvania State Grant

Undergraduate students who are recipients of the PA State Grant must successfully complete a minimum number of credits each semester they are enrolled to receive a PA state grant in the following academic year. A part time student must successfully complete a minimum of six (6) semester credits per semester (or 12 credits in a year). Full time students must successfully complete a minimum of twelve (12) semester credits per semester (or 24 credits in a year). Credits earned for repeat courses which were previously counted when PA State Grant progress was verified cannot be counted again. Academic progress for PA State Grant is reviewed by the Student Financial Services office at the conclusion of the Summer semester.

Additional Requirements and Rights

Students may take coursework outside the academic requirements for their degree; however, they should be aware that Title IV financial aid, PA state grants, and Veterans Administration aid may not be used to cover the costs associated with such courses. The Student Financial Services Office should be consulted on the impact of taking coursework outside the degree requirements prior to finalizing their registration.

Aid from outside sources must be reported to the student financial services office. Such outside aid may result in a change in eligibility status for aid previously offered.

Aid will vary according to enrollment status (full or part-time) and housing status (resident, off-campus, or commuter). Students must inform the student financial services office of any status changes after their aid is offered. Students may request an appointment with the student financial services office to review the information that determines their aid and the amount of their financial aid offer.

Students and families have the right to request that their financial aid be reviewed if the student or family has experienced unusual or special circumstances which affected their financial situation.

Policy

Special and Unusual Circumstances

Students who have not yet completed their first undergraduate degree may qualify. Information from the FAFSA is used to determine a student’s eligibility for a Pell Grant.

Recipients must serve as a full-time teacher for at least four academic years at a high-need school within eight years after completing the course of study; otherwise, obligation will be treated as a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan. The annual award is up to $3,772 for disbursements made before October 1, 2023, with aggregates not to exceed $16,000 for undergraduates.

Federal Direct Loan Program

The U.S. Department of Education’s federal student loan program is the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program. Under this program, the U.S. Department of Education is the lender. The Direct Loan allows students to borrow loans in their own name and requires no credit evaluation. A FAFSA is required for all loan applicants.

Direct Loans have a fixed interest rate and can be either interest-subsidized (federal government makes in-school and grace period interest payments) or unsubsidized (student makes interest payments during in-school and grace periods or has interest added onto the amount borrowed and repaid with principal after grace period). Eligibility for interest subsidy is based on demonstrated financial need as determined by the FAFSA each academic year. Payment of principal is deferred while the student is enrolled. Repayment of principal begins six months after the student graduates, withdraws, or enrolls for fewer than six credits.

Dependent undergraduate students may borrow up to $31,000 in Loan funds. Independent undergraduate students may borrow up to $57,500. Graduate students may borrow up to $138,500.

There is a loan fee on all Direct Loans. The loan fee is a percentage of the loan amount and is proportionately deducted from each loan disbursement. The percentage varies depending on when the loan is first disbursed. The current Direct Loan fee for Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans is 1.057% for loans disbursed on or after October 1, 2020 and before October 1, 2023. The current Direct Loan fee for Parent Plus and Graduate Plus Loans is 4.228% for loans disbursed on or after October 1, 2020 and before October 1, 2023.

Students will be required to complete an electronic Federal Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Counseling.

The FAFSA form, Master Promissory Note, and Loan Entrance Counseling can be completed electronically at studentaid.gov.

Federal Loan Limits

Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan

The Direct PLUS Loan is available to credit-worthy parents of dependent undergraduate students and have fixed interest rates. Parents may borrow the difference between the student’s total cost of attendance and all other aid the student is receiving.

For parent borrowers, interest will accrue after the first disbursement. Parents may request deferment and not need to make payments while their child is enrolled at least half-time and for an additional six months after their child graduates, leaves school, or drops below half-time enrollment. Paying the interest as it accrues can reduce costs over the repayment term of the loan.

Parents can apply for the Direct PLUS Loan online beginning in May for the academic year. Parents will be required to complete a PLUS Loan application with the requested loan amount and successfully complete the credit check. Credit checks are good for 180 days. Once approved, an electronic Federal Direct PLUS Loan Master Promissory Note (PLUS MPN) will need to be completed.

Graduate or professional students enrolled at least half-time in a program leading to a graduate or professional degree or certificate can apply for a Graduate PLUS Loan. Students must not have an adverse credit history (unless you meet certain additional eligibility requirements) and must meet the general eligibility requirements for federal student aid. The maximum PLUS loan amount a student can borrow is the cost of attendance minus any other financial assistance received.

Students who properly complete the aid application process as previously described will be automatically evaluated for eligibility for Nursing Loan assistance. If eligible, the student will receive notification from the Student Financial Services Office along with a Nursing Loan Application.

The MFEP grant can be used for a degree-granting curriculum or certificate-granting program as determined by PHEAA at an approved institution for up to 5 academic years. If the service commitment is not honored, the total MFEP award received must be repaid plus interest.

Additional information can be obtained online at pheaa.org by selecting Aid for Military & PA National Guard under the Funding Opportunities heading or by calling 1-800-692-7392 and choosing Special Programs at the prompt.

PA Fostering Independence Tuition Waiver (FosterEd) Program

In 2019, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania passed Act 16, creating the Fostering Independence Tuition Waiver (FosterEd) Program, amended by Act 91. The FosterEd Program provides a tuition and mandatory fees waiver at postsecondary institutions for eligible youth who are or have been in foster care. The program is being administered collaboratively by PHEAA in conjunction with the PA Departments of Education (PDE), Human Services (DHS), and Labor & Industry (L&I).

To be eligible for a FosterEd waiver, the student must:

• Be a current resident of Pennsylvania at the start and during the term for which the waiver is awarded.
• Have not reached the age of 26 by July 1 of the upcoming academic year for which the FosterEd waiver is received.
• Have received a high school diploma or received a Commonwealth Secondary School Diploma
• Be eligible for services under Pennsylvania’s John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood.
• Be identified as a youth who is in foster care, or was discharged from foster care on or after attaining age 16, OR has exited foster care on or after age 16 to adoption or permanent legal guardianship.
• Be enrolled as an undergraduate, at least half-time, in a postsecondary institution that is approved by the U.S. Department of Education for Title IV student assistance programs in PA.
• Have unmet cost for the PA Chafee Education and Training Grant (Chafee ETG), as deter- mined by the postsecondary institution.
• Maintain satisfactory academic progress as determined by the institution.
• Not be in default on a federal student loan or owe a refund on other Title IV aid.
• File a FAFSA for the academic year for which the waiver is being requested.
• File an application for Chafee ETG.
• Submit a PA State Grant Form, if applicable
• Have not previously received a waiver for five (5) years (consecutive or not), defined as ten (10) semesters or the equivalent, for under graduate study.

Institutional Work-study

The university maintains this work-study program through its own funding. It assists students who are not eligible to participate in the federal program, but who need to earn part of their university expenses through employment.

Part-time Jobs

Some part-time employment is available in the community for students. Students who are interested in part-time employment opportunities should inquire at the Insalaco Center for Career Development.

Refunds of Overpayments

Refunds of credit balances on student accounts caused by overpayment (either from financial aid or personal transaction) will be processed in the Student Financial Services Office within 10 days from the date on which the credit balance occurs. The 10 days gives the university time to verify the amount of refund, to check on any other charges, and to confer with the Director of Student Financial Services.

Student refund requests must be approved by the Director of Student Financial Services. Students are advised to begin the academic year with sufficient funds to pay for books and living expenses until refund checks are issued.

Tuition Payment Options

Payment Policy for Part-time Students

At the time of registration, a part-time student must make arrangements for paying tuition and fees. The student may either pay for the course in full, have financial aid to cover the amount due, or participate in either the deferred payment plan or the tuition reimbursement payment plan. The details of the two payment plans are discussed below.

Tuition Reimbursement Payment Plan for Part-time Students

Students who receive tuition benefits from their employer may be eligible to participate in Misericordia University’s Tuition Reimbursement Payment Plan. Generally, this payment plan permits tuition and fees to be paid up to 30 days after the issuance of grades instead of at the time of registration for the course. The requirements of the plan are as follows:

• Only part-time students are eligible.
• A tuition reimbursement letter from the employer must be on file prior to registration and must be updated annually. The letter must state the terms of the benefit.
• Students must keep the original invoice and final grades for employer verification. Duplicate invoices and grade sheets will not be issued.
• It is the responsibility of the student, not the employer, to ensure that payment is made within the 30 day period. Students who fail to make payment within the 30 day grace period may be removed from the tuition reimbursement payment plan.
• The 30 day grace period does not apply to graduating students.
• Students who are receiving only partial tuition benefits must make arrangements to pay the costs that are not covered by the employer at the time of registration.

Deferred Payment Plan for Part-time Students

Misericordia University provides an option for students or parents to pay tuition, fees and other charges on a deferred payment plan. The plan permits educational costs to be spread over a period of time. The requirements of the plan are as follows:

• Only part-time students are eligible.
• A down payment of 20 percent of the total term/semester charges is required by the due date of the semester.
• Deferments are limited to one term/semester; the unpaid balance must be paid one week before final examinations for that term/semester. 
• Students who fail to meet their deferred payment obligations will be dropped from the plan.

Tuition Payment Plan for Full-time Students

Full-time time students have the option to schedule monthly payments through Cash Net. There is an annual fee to cover the processing of payments. To maximize payments, students should enroll in the plan starting May 15th. The annual payment plan begins in the month of July prior to the start of the fall semester and ends April 1^st. Semester only plans are available. Enroll at https://commerce.cashnet.com/cashnet/MISERICORDIAPAY or call 1-877-821-0625​.

Credit Card Payments

Misericordia University accepts VISA, MasterCard, and Discover credit cards for payment of tuition and fees. A 2.5% processing fee applies.

Refund Policies and Return of Financial Aid

Withdrawal Policy for Full Time Student

When a full-time student (a student who is charged the full-time flat rate) withdraws from the university, they must complete an official withdrawal clearance as indicated in either the undergraduate  or graduate section  of the catalog. 

When a student drops or withdraws from a course with penalty, tuition will be cancelled at the following percentage rates. All fees including general, program, course and miscellaneous fees are non-refundable. Friday is considered the last day of the week for refunds unless noted.

After the Census date of the sub term that a student is enrolled (the 100% date), there is no refund on any fees.

In circumstances when the university initiates a student withdrawal, the student will be financially responsible based on the refund schedule for that semester.

Tuition

No refund will be given on Tuition after the seventh week.

Seven, Six, Five, and Four Week Courses

Housing (Voluntary)

No refund will be given on Housing after the fourth week.

Meal Plan (Voluntary)

No refund will be given on Meal Plans after the seventh week

Change of Academic Status

If a student drops credits which will change their academic status from full to part-time (below 12 credits for undergraduate and below 9 credits for graduate students) prior to the full semester add/drop deadline as indicated on the academic calendar, the full-time tuition charges originally assessed will be adjusted to reflect the per credit tuition rate. A CHANGE OF ACADEMIC STATUS FORM  MUST BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED TO THE STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT.  

Refund Policy for Part-time Student

If a part-time student withdraws from the university, they must file an official notice of withdrawal with the Center for Adult and Continuing Education.

When a student drops or withdraws from a course with penalty, tuition will be cancelled at the following percentage rates. All fees (including general, program, course and miscellaneous fees) are non-refundable. Friday is considered the last day of the week for refunds unless noted.

After the Census date of the sub term that a student is enrolled (the 100% date), there is no refund on any fees.

In circumstances when the university initiates a student withdrawal, the student will be financially responsible based on the refund schedule for that semester.

Full Semester Courses (15 weeks’ fall or spring 13 weeks’ summer)

No refund will be given after the seventh week.

Seven, Six, Five, and Four Week Courses

No refund will be given after the second week.

Financial Aid Refund Policy

Students that withdraw, drop, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence from school should consult with the Student Financial Services Office on how the refund policy applies to their situation.

Return of Federal Title IV Funds

The Student Financial Services Office is required by federal statute to recalculate federal financial aid eligibility for students who withdraw, drop, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60% of a payment period or term, or receives all failing grades because the student ceases enrollment and does not formally withdraw.  Federal Title IV financial aid must be recalculated in these situations.

If a student earned less aid than was disbursed, the institution would be required to return the portion of funds that the student did not earn. The university must return the amount of Title IV funds for which it is responsible no later than 30 days after the date of the determination of the date of the student’s withdrawal. Please note that students who receive a refund of financial aid prior to withdrawal from the University may owe a repayment of federal financial aid funds received. Students will be contacted by the Financial Aid Office in such situations and will be given 30 days to repay the funds to the University. Students who fail to return the unearned portion of federal financial aid funds given to them will become ineligible for continued receipt of financial aid at all institutions until such time as the repayment is made.

Misericordia follows the federal guidelines when calculating the portion of federal financial aid a student has earned. Once the amount of the federal funds to be returned has been calculated, the funds will be returned in the following order and cannot exceed the total amount awarded:

• Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans
• Subsidized Federal Direct Loans
• Federal Direct Parent (PLUS) Loans
• Federal Pell Grants
• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG)
• TEACH Grants

Students who are recipients of Title IV Funds subsequently withdraw and have their tuition adjusted retroactively due to extenuating circumstances, will still be subject to Title IV Federal Return Calculation.

Return of State Funds

Pennsylvania and other state grants will be adjusted in accordance with each agency’s stated guidelines. It is expected that PA State Grant funds will be reduced by the same percent of reduction in tuition received by a student when withdrawing from the University.

Return of Institutional Scholarships and Grants

Institutional scholarships and grants will be reduced by the same percent of reduction in tuition received by a student when withdrawing from the University.

When a student fails to earn a passing grade during an enrollment period

If a student that began attendance and has not officially withdrawn fails to earn a passing grade in at least one course offered over an enrollment period, the university must assume, for Title IV purposes, that the student has unofficially withdrawn, unless it can be documented that the student completed the period of enrollment. Students will be considered to have withdrawn at the midpoint of the period of enrollment if a last date of academic activity cannot be determined.

Administrative Regulation and Payment of Tuition and Fees

Misericordia University students are expected to pay their bills in a timely manner. Interest is charged monthly on unpaid balances. The student financial services office personnel assist students in meeting their financial obligations and will discuss reasonable payment schedules in extraordinary cases. In order to assure the collection of money due the university, students with unpaid balances for tuition, fees, bookstore charges, library fines, parking fines, or any other Misericordia University approved fee or fine will be denied the following privileges or services:

1. Class registration.
2. Participation in commencement ceremonies and the awarding of diplomas.
3. Transcript issue.
4. Residence hall reservation privileges.

This policy is waived for students who receive tuition benefits, rehabilitation benefits or veterans’ education benefits under chapter 31 or 33 that will satisfy their balance.
