Financial Aid

Campus-based Financial Aid Programs

Financial aid is available to graduate students admitted as degree candidates, who are making satisfactory academic progress, fulfilling the eligibility requirements of the program for which they apply, and registering for 6 or more credits a semester. The university receives a limited amount of money each year from the Federal Perkins Student Loan and Federal Work Study program to assist students. The programs are need-based. To receive consideration, a student must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or a renewal application. All application materials must be received in the Financial Aid Office by March 1 for the following academic year for first consideration. Students may apply as early as January 1. (This form should be mailed by January 30 to allow sufficient time for processing). More detailed information on financial aid programs and eligibility requirements is available upon request from the Financial Aid Office.
