An Affordable Degree

You will find a variety of resources to help you earn your master’s degree.

Graduate PLUS Loans

Based on your financial need and income, Graduate PLUS loans can be subsidized or unsubsidized.

You will need to file your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to be considered for student loans.

Scholarships and Grants

You may receive a scholarship or grant based on academic merit, research, or other criteria. These are typically awarded through your school, division, or department, but sometimes they are offered through other entities, on or off campus.

Federal Work-Study

You may qualify for Federal Work-Study, a federally subsidized program awarded to students based on their financial needs. This work—for the university or nonprofit organizations as defined by the federal government—provides essential services to the university or the community, and gives participants the opportunity to secure positions that may relate to their educational objectives, and enables them to gain valuable work experience.
