Financial Aid for Graduate Students
Graduate Students are offered Federal Unsubsidized Student loans when they apply for financial aid through the FAFSA.
The federal Grad PLUS loan may also be applied for online at Student Loans to help cover expenses if all Federal Unsubsidized Student Loans have been exhausted.
Graduate students applying for loans through the Financial Aid Office should understand that Graduate Assistantships and fee waivers may affect their financial aid package.
Students seeking a Graduate Certificate are eligible for financial aid for certain certificate programs. Here at UNCP these Graduate Certificate Programs currently include the following:
- Addictions Counseling
- Advanced School Counseling for Postsecondary Success
- Nursing Education
- Play Therapy
Alternative or Private loans are available to students who are not eligible for financial aid or who need additional funds beyond what the cost of Federal Unsubsidized or Graduate Plus loans do not cover.
