Financial Aid

Direct Unsubsidized Loans (sometimes called Unsubsidized Stafford Loans) are low-cost, fixed-rate federal student loans available to graduate students, not just undergraduate students. Direct Unsubsidized Loans are the most common — and among the lowest-cost — ways to pay for graduate school and professional school.

Key Direct Unsubsidized Loan benefits for students attending graduate school:

  • Fixed interest rate
  • Borrow up to $20,500 per year
  • No payments while enrolled in school
  • Eligibility not based on credit

How to Apply for a Direct Unsubsidized Loan for Graduate School:

  • You need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) before you can take out federal student loans from the Direct Loans program.
  • Complete the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA (for returning students) at FAFSA.ed.gov.
  • Receive a financial aid award letter from the financial aid office. This letter will summarize your available financial aid.
  • Contact your school’s financial aid office to accept the financial aid and student loans.
  • Sign any associated paperwork such as the Master Promissory Note (MPN).
