    If you are a U.S. Citizen or an eligible non-citizen, to apply you must first complete and submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at https://fafsa.ed.gov/. The school will use the information from you FAFSA to determine how much aid you are eligible to receive. You may also get more information on our website under Financial Aid.

  • What's the maximum amount I can borrow in loans?

    The school will determine the loan type(s), if any, and the actual loan amount you are eligible to receive each academic year once your FAFSA is submitted and processed. There are limits on the amount in subsidized and unsubsidized loans that you may be eligible to receive each academic year (annual loan limits) and the total amounts that you may borrow for undergraduate and graduate study (aggregate loan limits). The actual loan amount you are eligible to receive each academic year may be less than the annual loan limit. These limits vary depending on

    • whether you are a dependent or independent student.

  • When are student loans repaid?

    After you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment, you will have a six-month grace period before you are required to begin repayment.

Payments are due monthly unless student is on approved deferment or forbearance. Students should contact their loan servicing lender with repayment questions.
