Financial Aid
Wondering how you’re going to pay for your education? You’re not alone. At Gwynedd Mercy
University, we’re committed to making the financial aid process as easy to navigate as possible.
Financial Aid Process
STEP 1: Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov. Your
2017 Federal Taxes and financial information will be used to determine your eligibility for federal
and institutional need-based aid for the 2019-2020 academic year.
★This is a free application. If you’re asked to pay, you are on the wrong site!★
TIP
❓
GMercyU’s school code is 003270. You will need this school code to send
the results of your FAFSA to our financial aid office.
Have questions about filling out the FAFSA? Check out this page
bit.ly/FAFSAQuickTips for more information.
Need help? Contact your Admissions Counselor or the Office of Financial Aid to schedule a time
to meet with a qualified financial aid professional who can help you through the process – at no
charge! You may also call FAFSA directly at 800-433-3243.
TIP
If you are not planning to complete the FAFSA, please let your Admissions
Counselor know right away. That way, the Financial Aid office can send you
a Financial Aid Award letter that includes your GMercyU Merit Scholarship
and any other institutional aid for which you may qualify.
STEP 2: Check Out the New Student Checklist on the Starting the Financial Aid Process page of
the GMercyU website.
TIP
Be sure to regularly check the email address that you used on your FAFSA.
If our Office of Financial Aid needs additional documentation in order to
process your financial aid application, the request will be sent to the email
address you provided on the FAFSA. The faster you provide the requested
information, the sooner you will receive your financial aid award letter!
