MBA Students
Financial Aid Information
Due to the structure of the program, MBA students have specific considerations regarding financial aid.
Financial Aid Requirements:
- You must be degree-seeking (fully accepted into the MBA program, 157MBA plan) and enrolled at least half-time (5 credit hours) to receive financial aid.
- You must be registered for both first and second-half semester classes prior to the start of the semester.
- Complete a FAFSA (available starting October 1). This application covers the fall, spring, and summer semesters (in that order).
- Additional information may be required after completing your FAFSA. Check your email and your Student Center To Do List regularly for any items that may need to be completed.
- After your financial aid offer has been created, you will be able to view your financial aid on MyUNIverse and accept any loans you would like to borrow.
- If you are borrowing federal loans, make sure you have completed Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note (MPN).
