You may be eligible to apply for federal student aid and private scholarship opportunities to help fund your graduate education. Use these resources for more information about financial aid options available to students.
A number of additional financial resources may be available to you, including scholarships funded by professional organizations, employer tuition assistance, and student loans. Pepperdine students may be eligible to apply for the following loan options:
- Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans: Students are potentially eligible to receive up to $20,500 per academic year with the Direct Unsubsidized Loan. The potential eligibility amount of the Direct Unsubsidized Loan is not based on need nor income.
- Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans: Graduate students who are eligible for funds beyond their annual Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan amount may apply for this credit-based loan up to the cost of attendance budget.
- Private Loans: Students who require additional assistance may apply for education loans through private lenders.
In accordance with the U.S. Department of Education’s regulations, universities are required to consistently apply reasonable standards for evaluating Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for all students regardless if he/she is a financial aid recipient.
