Graduate Student Requirements for Financial Aid Eligibility

 

Graduate Students:

Degree-seeking graduate students must meet the basic eligibility rules that apply to undergraduate students and are typically only eligible for Federal Student Loans. 

Graduate students may also be eligible for Assistantships to help cover tuition costs.

Graduate Non-degree (GND) students may be eligible for federal loans, but it is impacted by the amount of borrowing from undergraduate studies. GND students are limited to three consecutive semesters, or 12 total months, of eligibility, and must be enrolled in 6 credits per semester.

Law Students:

Law students must also meet the basic eligibility rules that apply to undergraduate students, must complete a FAFSA, and be enrolled in 6 credit hours to be considered for federal student aid.  Comprehensive aid information is available through the Financial Aid Office in the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law.
