Are you facing financial hardship?
If you or your family have experienced a financial hardship or wage reduction/loss we can perform a Professional Judgement Review. It is possible, but not guaranteed, that you could qualify for additional financial aid based on our review. Contact us at financialaid@harrisburgu.edu to see if you qualify!
