Your future. Our mission.

In the Office of Financial Aid at Millersville University, we believe finances should never be a barrier to education. Our mission is to inform, educate, and empower current and future Marauders by providing comprehensive knowledge of financial aid programs and helping them understand their financial responsibilities—encouraging students to play an active role in the investment toward their future. 

Comprehensive & inclusive Financial Aid Support

At Millersville University, we believe financial aid should be accessible to all. Our team provides clear, unbiased guidance in a welcoming environment to support every student’s success. Whether you're a first-generation, transfer, non-traditional, or out-of-state student, we’re here for you.

Breaking Down Barriers to Education

We understand that financial challenges can make higher education feel out of reach. That’s why our Financial Aid Office is committed to equipping students with the knowledge and tools to access the resources available to them.

  • Tech-equipped spaces for easy access to financial aid resources
  • Personalized support to guide you through FAFSA, loans, and scholarships
  • Multilingual assistance to ensure language is never a barrier

Empowering Students with Financial Resources

From completing the FAFSA to identifying scholarships, grants, work-study opportunities, and low-interest loans, we guide students through every step of the financial aid process.

Our goal is simple: to help you secure the financial support necessary to achieve your educational dreams.
