Need-based financial aid
Need-based assistance for all students is facilitated by the Financial Aid office.
Loans
The federal government provides loan options for graduate students, even if they do not qualify for need-based financial aid. The TU Financial Aid Office works with two types of U.S. federal government loans:
- Federal Direct Unsubsidized loan: This is generally the lowest-cost loan available and is made in amounts up to $20,500 every academic year. To qualify, you must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, take at least six credits per semester and submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
- Federal grad PLUS loan: If you need to borrow more, then a grad PLUS loan can generally cover the remainder. You will need to submit the application for a federal Direct loan prior to applying for a PLUS loan.
If federal loans are unavailable or insufficient, we can help you explore private or alternative education loans. Unlike federal loans, private loans do not require a FAFSA to apply. Private loans are not based on need and approval is generally based on creditworthiness and ability to repay. Some students may need to apply with a creditworthy co-signer. Interest rates, grace periods, repayment options and fees are determined by the lender and can vary considerably from lender to lender; generally, they charge higher rates than those charged for federal loans.
