Financial Aid
In order to receive financial aid, you must fill out the FAFSA for the current year for summer (summer 2008 is the final term of the 07-08 year). This will determine if you are eligible for financial aid and, if so, how much aid you are eligible to receive. You also must have completed the graduate application form (which we will send you after you are accepted to the program) and be admitted as a graduate student. Since this is a master's program, only federal loans (not direct grants) are available. Alternative loans (loans that the Oregon University system gives to students) may also be available. Information about financial aid and the FAFSA is located on the financial aid website. Money is not dispersed until the first day of class.
