Financial Aid
Mount Union College believes that no student should fail to apply for admission to the College purely for financial reasons. About 80 percent of our students receive some financial assistance based on demonstrated need. The College also allocates institutional funds to be offered to students as merit-based awards. In 2005-2006, Mount Union students received financial aid in excess of $36 million. More than $7.8 million of that total were awarded in the form of College grants. An additional $4.9 million were given in the form of various scholarships.
The average aid award is $15,650 and may include:
- Grants and/or scholarships (which the student does not repay)
- Work on campus (which pays an hourly wage)
- Low-interest loans (repayment is normally deferred until after graduation from college)
Aid recipients must be enrolled on a full-time basis. It is the student's responsibility to check with the Office of Student Financial Services if part-time attendance is desired. Students enrolled less than 12 semester hours are eligible to apply for a part-time Federal Pell Grant and a Federal Stafford Loan.
