How do I obtain information or an application for financial assistance?
The Financial Aid Office provides information to students regarding financial planning and distributes financial aid resources to qualified students. Students seeking financial assistance from the University are encouraged to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form no later than April 15. This is a government form available in early December at high schools as well as college and university financial aid offices. The Financial Aid Office also mails a FAFSA to any student who applies for admission to Philadelphia University. The amount of financial aid available to any student is based upon academic performance, need and the availability of funds. More detailed information is available from the Financial Aid Office. Philadelphia University has committed funds to reward students for their academic success. The awards are based solely on academic merit and not on financial need. They are awarded to entering freshman on the basis of cumulative high school grades
