This means that the most recent merit and need-based financial aid offers these students received this spring will never be reduced during their four years at Muhlenberg.
“This application cycle has come with confusion and frustration as a result of changes to the FAFSA, technical glitches and delays in processing caused by the Department of Education,” says Director of Financial Aid Greg Mitton. “We share students’ and families’ frustrations and know how difficult making a final college decision can be if they are uncertain or confused about the actual financial commitment they are making.”
“In this year of great confusion and a lack of trust caused by many factors outside of our control, we want students and families to be certain of one thing — they can count on us.”
—Vice President for Enrollment Management Meg Ryan
Students in the incoming Class of 2028 will continue to receive at least the same amount of financial aid as long as they file a FAFSA each year, continue to have the same housing status and are enrolled full-time in pursuit of their bachelor’s degree. Merit scholarships are renewable on the basis of good academic and social standing on campus.
“It has always been part of Muhlenberg’s mission to provide transparent and clear guidance to families as they complete the admissions and financial aid process and choose their future college home,” says Vice President for Enrollment Management Meg Ryan. “In this year of great confusion and a lack of trust caused by many factors outside of our control, we want students and families to be certain of one thing — they can count on us.”
