Students pay MU tuition and fees, as well as a non-refundable, non-transferable $400 program participation fee directly to Millersville. The program participation fee is due approximately one month after program acceptance. Room and board are separate and are the student’s responsibility.
Financial Assistance
Students should investigate loans which may be available, such as application for Federal Student Aid. Scholarships have individual regulations, and students should contact the Financial Aid Office to determine if their scholarships are transferable.
