Financial Aid
As a degree-seeking graduate student enrolled at least half-time, you may qualify for federal support in the form of loans. Federal student aid is available only to degree-seeking students enrolled at least half-time in their program of study; certificate programs are not eligible for federal student aid. We encourage eligible degree-seeking students to apply, as it is one of the most common ways to finance advanced study. For the latest details, visit the Stevens Office of Financial Aid.
