If you cannot or do not wish to complete the FAFSA on the Web, you can use this PDF version of the FAFSA. The PDF FAFSA must be mailed for processing. The PDF FAFSA is available for you to print and fill out manually or is screen-fillable. Screen-fillable means you can enter your data on the screen before printing. Please note that if you choose this option you will not be able to save your data to your PC. In other words, if you fill out the PDF FAFSA on your computer and then attempt to save it, you will save only the PDF FAFSA form and none of your personal information. To print a PDF FAFSA file from within your reader, we recommend you use the PDF’s print button rather than the browser’s print function. |

The lenders listed on each of the recommended lender lists (which can be accessed from the box below and from your on-line award notice on MCSquare) have been evaluated by Messiah College as the best loans available to our students and parents. We have chosen these lenders for several reasons, including price, overall savings to the student, and customer service.
For the private loans offered by these lenders, each lender has slightly different rates or discounts depending on the borrower or co-borrower's credit (FICO) score. At the time we conducted our analysis, these lenders were determined to offer the best loan products available to our students.
For all types of loans listed on each of our recommended lender lists, our analysis was completed with the goal of making the decision process easier for you. These are suggestions made by Messiah College to assist you in making an informed decision. But you, the borrower, may choose any bank/lender you wish. You are not required to apply for a loan from any of the lenders on our recommended list.
Messiah College does not accept any revenue sharing funds from any lender. No employee of Messiah College receives anything of more than nominal value from any lender.
