Financial Need-Based Eligibility and the Appeal Process
(US Citizens and Eligible Non-US Citizens Only)

Information from the FAFSA is used to determine how much money you should be able to contribute toward your education - your Expected Family Contribution or EFC. The financial aid office determines your total cost of attendance including tuition and fees and estimates for living expenses (reflected on page 1).

Your financial need is based on the following formula:听听听听听

听听听听听听听听 Total Cost of Attendance
听听听听听听 - Expected Family Contribution
听 听 听 听= Financial Need

The estimate of your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is based on your previous year鈥檚 income. If you had a full time job and you no longer work, the expected contribution may not reflect your current situation. You may file a Petition for Professional Judgment to document your changed financial circumstances and the Office of Financial Aid can then calculate your expected family contribution to reflect your current circumstances. Contact the financial aid office for further information.

Federal Loan Programs

Direct Loans

Federal Direct Loans (Stafford Loans) are fixed-rate student loans for graduate students attending a college or university at least half time. Graduate students are eligible for unsubsidized Direct Loans with a loan limit of $20,500 per academic year and a fixed interest rate of 6% after 7/1/17.

Graduate Plus Loans

Graduate PLUS student loans are non-need based. Eligibility for Grad PLUS Loans is based on your credit history. The yearly limit on a Graduate PLUS Loan is equal to your cost of attendance minus any other financial aid you receive. For example, if your cost of attendance is $20,000 and you receive $5,000 in scholarships and a $5,000 Direct Loan, you could borrow up to but no more than $10,000.听 Graduate PLUS loans have a fixed interest rate of 7% after 7/1/17.

Additional Loan Sources

If scholarships and federal loan funding do not cover your annual budget including living expenses, private student loans may help you fill the gap. 听 serves as a central source for comparing private loan options. In addition, you may contact the CU-色吧亚洲 Office of Financial Aid for further private loan information.听听
