Can I Get Financial Aid?

Financial aid is available to help you pay for your graduate education. There are a variety of financial aid tools available to students today, including scholarships, need-based awards, and student loans. Nearly two-thirds of today’s college students receive some form of financial aid or assistance programs. Financial aid eligibility is based on two calculations—the total cost of education and the student’s ability to pay. The cost of education can vary depending on costs for tuition and living expenses.
