Transfer Students

General Information

Will you be transferring to Millersville in the middle of the academic year (entering during the Spring semester)? Are you interested in Receiving Financial Aid at MU?

Federal Student Aid* — Federal Student Aid includes the Federal Pell Grant and Federal Stafford Loan. To be considered for these sources, complete the 2008-2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) listing MU as a school that should receive your information. MU’s Federal school code is 003325. If you completed a 2008-2009 FAFSA for your prior institution but did not list MU, call FAFSA at 1-800-433-3243 or update online — FAFSA — AND SELECT MAKE CORRECTIONS TO A PROCESSED FAFSA.

  • *You may be required to complete the Verification process. If so, a form will be mailed to you after MU receives your FAFSA information and you have paid your confirmation fee.

PA State Grant (PHEAA) — If you are eligible to receive a PA State Grant (PHEAA), you need to be sure your grant is processed for MU. To release your information to MU, contact PHEAA at 1-800-692-7392. Millersville University must be listed as the first school choice in order for your PHEAA State Grant to be released to MU.

You can make these changes online instead of calling PHEAA, if you wish. Go to PHEAA and select "Sign In/Create Account " on the left side of the screen. You will need to log in if you already have a username and password with AES or PHEAA. If you do not have one, create an account with a username and password. Once you have logged into your account, select the current academic year under "Grant Status." Then select the "Change School Information Form" and then complete the information and submit the form. *Please note: This change only adjusts the PHEAA Grant record and not the FAFSA.*

Federal Stafford Loan — If you had a Stafford Loan processed for the 2008-2009 academic year at your prior school, your second disbursement (Spring semester disbursement) must be cancelled before a Federal Stafford Loan can be processed at MU. To cancel your second disbursement, call AES at 1-800-692-7392 (or your lender/guarantor if different than AES) or contact the Financial Aid Office at your prior school.

Alternative/Private Loans - If you are interested in receiving Alternative/Private Educational Loans, you must reapply for the loan using Millersville University as the school you will be attending. For the Spring semester, the loan term dates you will use are 1/12/09 - 5/2/09. For more information, please see our website on Alternative Loans

  • If you had an Alternative loan at your previous school, you must be sure there is no award for spring - if you took out the loan for the entire academic year, you will need to contact the Financial Aid Office at your old school to have the spring amount cancelled.

Scholarships - there are no Millersville University Scholarships available for transfer students. However, you may still apply for outside scholarships - please see our website for more information on Scholarships.
