On Monday night, Muhlenberg contacted students who were admitted to the Class of 2028 to share the college’s four-year financial aid guarantee. This means that the most recent merit- and need-based financial aid offers these students received this spring will never be reduced during their four years at Muhlenberg.
“This application cycle has generated confusion and frustration as a result of changes to the FAFSA, technical glitches, and processing delays caused by the Department of Education,” said Director of Financial help Greg Mitton. “We share the frustrations of students and families and know how difficult it can be to make a final college decision if they are uncertain or confused about the real financial commitment they are making.”
“In this year of great confusion and lack of trust caused by many factors beyond our control, we want students and families to be sure of one thing: they can count on us.”
—Vice President of Enrollment Management Meg Ryan
Students in the incoming class of 2028 will continue to receive at least the same amount of financial aid as long as they submit a FAFSA every year, continue to have the same housing status, and are enrolled full-time toward earning their bachelor’s degree. Merit scholarships are renewable based on good academic and social standing on campus.
“It has always been part of Muhlenberg’s mission to provide transparent and clear guidance to families as they complete the admissions and financial aid process and choose their future college home,” said Vice President of Enrollment Management Meg Ryan. “In this year of great confusion and lack of trust caused by many factors beyond our control, we want students and families to be sure of one thing: they can count on us.”
