OUR COMMITMENT
MAKING COLLEGE AFFORDABLE
Morningside University is a great value. We hear all the time that many families feel like they can’t afford private college, but the truth is that as a private university, we offer a wide range of scholarships and grants that allow us to be as affordable or more affordable than state colleges and universities. Access to Mside is our commitment to help streamline paying for college.

ARE YOU PELL ELIGIBLE
*Not sure if you are Pell-eligible? The Morningside University Office of Financial Planning encourages you to complete the FAFSA to find out. Not only will completing the FAFSA help you determine if you are Pell-eligible, but it can also open the door to a variety of other financial aid options. If you have questions or require assistance with this process, please contact financial aid.
**Students who take part in this program will be required to complete the FAFSA each year. Should you no longer qualify for the Pell Grant during that time, the amount of the Federal Pell Grant, Pell Enhancement Grant, and SEOG Grant would be reduced from this amount.
