This step helps you see what your bottom line will look like, financially, if you were to attend 麻豆果冻. It鈥檚 also smart to compare Moravian鈥檚 offer to the offers you鈥檝e received from your other schools of interest. 

Our goal is to make sure that you feel confident in understanding your financial aid information as you make an important decision and investment in your education. As you review your Financial Aid Offer, here are some of the things that you should be thinking about:

  • Are the types of resources that I am receiving merit-based, need-based, or both?
  • Are the types of resources I am receiving 鈥済ift aid鈥 (grants and scholarships that don鈥檛 need to be paid back) or 鈥渟elf-help aid鈥 (loans and work-study)?
  • What are the eligibility requirements that I need to meet in order to receive financial aid?
  • Do I have to reapply for aid annually? How could my aid change from year to year?
  • What is the Cost of Attendance? What will be billed to me directly by the University? What costs might I pay for out-of-pocket?
  • What would my Net Cost look like without utilizing loans? What would I owe if I utilize loans?
  • Will I need to use loans to bridge the gap between the Cost of Attendance and my Financial Aid Offer? What types of loan options are available? 
  • Do I expect to receive any external resources? 
  • Do I have any savings I plan to contribute?
  • Is there a payment plan available?

We strongly encourage you to think about your education as not just a one-year commitment, but rather as a multi-year commitment from the day you step on campus until you graduate with your degree. 


As you think about your Financial Aid Offer and Net Cost, we encourage you to start thinking about the options that are available to help you bridge the gap between the cost of attendance and your financial aid resources.

How Financial Aid Offers are Determined

Financial aid is provided to help bridge the gap between a family鈥檚 demonstrated ability to pay and the cost to attend university. When all necessary financial aid application information has been submitted, a financial aid advisor will review the accuracy of the data reported and begin to assemble a Financial Aid Offer. The offer may include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and employment. The exact composition of a student鈥檚 Financial Aid Offer depends upon several factors, including admission and retention indicators of performance, financial need, and the availability of funds. Academic record and progress, date of admission, and the date of receipt of the financial aid application may also affect the makeup of the Financial Aid Offer. 

Need-based aid is determined by financial and household information provided on the financial aid application. Financial aid that is not need-based, such as merit scholarships, is based on information provided by the student on the application for admission. A student鈥檚 Financial Aid Offer may include one or both forms of aid. 

麻豆果冻 offers institutionally-funded financial aid on the basis of financial need, as well as academic achievement and promise. A student may also qualify for resources through the U.S. Department of 麻豆果冻 and applicable State Grant Agencies; as well as from various external sources. All offers are subject to change based on receipt of additional information, and the Office of Financial Aid Services reserves the right to review, revise, correct and/or cancel an award at any time. Offer revisions may be warranted due to changes in need; changes in enrollment or housing status, changes in academic standing; federal, state, or institutional requirements, availability of budgeted funds; or unusual circumstances.
