Financial Aid Financial Aid Services is located in Stratton Administration Center 209. The telephone number is 610-683-4077. Financial aid is available to afford the student access and choice when considering post-secondary education. A basic principle of financial aid is the primary responsibility for educational costs must be assumed by the family, including the student. The family’s resources - both student’s and parents’ - are federally computed to calculate an index for determining eligibility for the financial aid programs. Aid from federal, state, private and institutional sources is used to assist in covering educational expenses to the extent that funds are available. Financial Aid Services’ major functions include processing aid application information for the purpose of delivering federal and state aid to eligible students, administering institutional and private aid as well as counseling students. This assists in the University’s efforts to provide access and the recruitment and retention of students. The amount of financial aid is dependent upon the extent of the student’s need and availability of funds. Typically, aid is processed for the entire year, which consists of two semesters of 15 weeks for a total of 30 weeks of instruction time. Students seeking financial aid are required to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA must be filed each year by our priority filing deadline of February 15 to be considered on time for all forms of aid. This process applies to both in-state and out-of-state students seeking consideration for all available aid from the institution.
