Financial Assistance Programs Award Processing
The Office of Scholarships and Financial Assistance will attempt to meet students’ financial needs pending the availability of funds. Federal financial aid will continue to be awarded until all funds are committed or until the specified deadlines, whichever occurs first.
Applications and required documentation should be submitted at the earliest possible date after January 2 for the following academic year. Beginning with the 2012-2013 academic year, graduate students are no longer eligible for subsidized federal student loans. All federal student loans for graduate students will be unsubsidized loans.
Students must be enrolled in at least five (5) credit hours per trimester in order to be eligible for direct loans and for in-school deferments of previous loans.
