Requirements for Financial Aid
To qualify for financial aid you must:
- Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen
- Be accepted and enrolled at least half-time in an approved program
- Be in good academic standing
- Not be in default of any previous federal student loans
Financial aid for graduate students is based on enrollment level rather than financial need. All students must reapply for aid each year.
Students that are conditionally admitted are eligible to receive financial aid for up to six credits in their first semester. At that point, the student must be fully admitted to the program in order to receive additional aid.
How to Apply for Financial Aid
For Summer 2024, Fall 2024, and Spring 2025 Semesters:
1. Complete the 2024–25 Financial Aid Application.
2. Complete the 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
