Financial Aid Important Announcements

24-25 FAFSA Opening December 2023
Important Information from MHEC

Looking for money to go to college? The Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) has partnered with Maryland Public Television (MPT) to bring you an hour-long broadcast to help you navigate your way through the financial aid process. The program, Ways to Pay for College is available to view on MPT's website.

MHEC’s New Office of Student Financial Assistance Director, Al Dorsett, is part of the program and talks about the $130 million in State scholarships and grants that is available to Maryland residents attending a Maryland college or university. Director Dorsett's segment is 19 minutes and 15 seconds into the video but watch the whole hour to learn more about how MHEC is helping students to gain access to college and achieve their higher education goals.

As soon as you complete and submit your FAFSA or MSFAA, make sure to create a Maryland College Aid Processing System (MDCAPS) Account. This is a critical part of the financial aid process.

Go to MHEC Maryland website and click on the MDCAPS ICON, which looks like a graduation cap. Please make sure when you sign up that you use an email that you use all the time, because the email you put in as your MDCAPS account is the email we will use to notify you about any scholarships or grants you may be eligible to receive!
Get Ready for Student Loan Payments

Financing your education is one of the most important life decisions you and your family face. The Financial Aid Office at Salisbury University is prepared to assist you in the process of securing the resources necessary to afford your college education.

Investing in a college education is often a major financial decision requiring many students to look beyond their own limited resources for assistance. SU students receive funds for college in the form of grants, loans, work-study and scholarships. Awards are based on financial need and/or academic ability.

We are pleased to act as your financial aid resource and information center, and look forward to helping you achieve your educational goals.
