Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan

The annual Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan amount for eligible graduate students is $20,500 (divided evenly between fall and spring semesters). Student Financial Services will approve the maximum annual amount of Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loan funding and all students have the ability to accept, adjust or decline your financial aid award offer online in Self-Service Banner (SSB) section of the TUportal.

New Federal Unsubsidized loan borrowers must complete an Entrance Interview and Master Promissory Note (MPN). 

Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan

Students interested in the Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan should apply online at studentaid.gov. Be sure to review the information on the financial aid offer, as SFS cannot certify a loan amount that is greater than the your cost of attendance. First-time borrowers must complete a Master Promissory Note studentaid.gov.

Important: Please be advised that all loans are processed for the full year. Any amount requested is split between the Fall and Spring semesters. Summer is a separate aid period and requires a separate loan application.

Private Student Loan

Private alternative loans are managed through private lenders, issued in the student’s name, and may require a credit-worthy co-signer. Eligibility, rates, terms and conditions vary. Approval and interest rates are based on the borrower’s and co-signer’s credit ratings. Alternative loans are agreements between the borrower, co-signer and the lender.

Important: Please be advised that all loans are processed for the fully year. Any amount requested is split between the Fall and Spring semesters. Summer is a separate aid period and requires a separate loan application.
