Sources of Financial Aid

Federal Direct Loan – Students may borrow up to $20,500 in Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans as graduate students. Repayment begins six months after students graduate or drop below half-time status. Recipients will have up to 10 years to repay the loan. Federal Direct Stafford Loans are currently at a “variable-fixed” rate based on the 10-year Treasury bill plus a percentage add-on of 3.6.   The index rate was set off of the May 12th Treasury note, so loans with a 1st disbursement on or after July 1, 2020 would be 4.30 percent (capped at 9.5 percent).
