To be considered for an institutional scholarship, you must complete a graduate scholarship application by the appropriate application deadline (see above).

You must initiate this type of a loan. You can start the process by submitting the FAFSA and completing a Master Promissory Note at www.studentloans.gov. See all the details in the Financial Aid section in the catalog.

In order to determine federal and state eligibility for unsubsidized loans, a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) must be completed and submitted by April 30th. This may be done online at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
