Graduate Level Financial Aid
Financial aid administered by the financial aid office is designed to assist students in paying for their expenses associated with earning a graduate degree. Financial aid is available to assist in paying for tuition, fees, books, supplies, and the student’s living expenses while enrolled. Students may qualify for Federal Work-Study, and loans only. Graduate students are not eligible for any Carroll College gift aid or tuition benefits.
A graduate program student may be eligible for graduate level, Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan limits based on their annual FAFSA results and aggregate loan limits ($20,500 annual limit). First time Stafford Loan borrowers must complete a Federal Direct Stafford Loan, Master Promissory Note (MPN). Graduate students may also be eligible for a Federal Graduate PLUS Loan which is a loan available to graduate students who need extra funding after receiving the annual maximum in Stafford Loans. These are credit based loans. Each year a graduate student may apply for a Graduate PLUS Loan using the online application form at studentloans.gov. First time Graduate PLUS borrowers must also sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN). Federal Work-Study may be available for those that qualify.
