Financial Aid for Graduate Students

---

Graduate students may apply for a Federal Stafford Loan package totaling the cost of their education each year, up to $20,500 ($10,500 for Post-Baccalaureate Certificate students). Federal Stafford Loans for graduate students are unsubsidized and are not awarded on the basis of need. Interest for unsubsidized loans is charged starting at disbursement until the loan is paid in full.

To be eligible for a federal loan, you need to apply and be admitted to a graduate program. Students in term-based programs must enroll in at least 4 credits per term (6 credits per term is required for Post-Baccalaureate Certificate programs). Students in accelerated, non-term programs are eligible for aid based on enrolling in the program.
