Applicant Financial Aid

 

A flurry of small snowflakes fall along a row of academic buildings on the campus of Muhlenberg College.

We understand that applying for financial aid can be stressful, and we are here to support you and your family. Due to delays in 2024-25 FAFSA availability and processing, we have outlined the steps you should take to receive an estimated need-based aid offer if you are admitted to Muhlenberg. Aid offers will be reviewed and revised if necessary when we get your official FAFSA information in mid-March. At minimum, we will guarantee that the initial aid offer based on the SAI information submitted will not get lowered once we receive official FAFSA data.
