PBU Scholarships
It is the policy of the University
to offer the student a quality education at the
lowest possible cost. The charge to students is
only a portion of the total cost of their education.
Additional funds are derived from gifts to the University
from a dedicated Christian constituency. Thus, in
effect, every student receives scholarship aid.
It is the desire of the University
to assist the student by providing the most practical
and efficient approach to the matter of finances.
We believe that a full student financial aid program,
including grants, scholarships,
loans and employment,
offers any student a realistic opportunity to finance
a college education. The Financial Aid Department
is available to assist students and their families
by providing advice and suggestions which are suitable
for the individual's personal financial status.
Additional information on any of the financial aid
programs may be secured by contacting the Financial
Aid Office online
or via phone at 215.702.4246.
Most financial
aid awards are determined on the basis of need.
Need is defined as cost of education minus family
contribution.

Employment
In order to assist students to secure
part-time and summer employment, the University
maintains a student employment service as part of
the Financial Aid Office. The success of this endeavor
is shown by the fact that approximately 85 percent
of the students hold part-time jobs. On-campus jobs
are available in the areas of maintenance, security,
food service, housekeeping and clerical services.
Grants
By virtue of PBU's recognition and
accreditation,
PBU students are eligible to receive assistance
through many Federal
and State grant
and loan programs.
Grants
are made to the student on the basis of financial
need as determined by a standardized
need analysis. The Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
is used to determine Title IV eligibility.
Note: PBU's
federal school code for FAFSA is 003351.
All federal, state or University funds
will be credited to the student's account at the
beginning of each semester or as soon as the federal
and state funds are made available.
