Financial Aid

To be eligible for financial aid (which includes federal loans), a graduate student must be enrolled in a minimum of six credits and be at least provisionally admitted into a graduate level degree-seeking program.

Financial need is defined by regulation as the difference between the cost of attending Rockford University (tuition, room and board, books, supplies, personal expenses and transportation) and the amount of money students’ families are able to contribute toward educational expenses. This family contribution is calculated from information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
