Financial Aid

Executive MPA students are eligible for federal financial aid. Please visit the University's Financial Aid Office for information on how to apply for federal education loans.

If you are considering applying to the 2008 Executive MPA Cohort, please submit your FAFSA immediately to ensure timely release of funds. You can file your FAFSA form before you apply for admission.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to be considered for financial aid during the first term of the Executive MPA program (summer 2008), you must apply to the program by the May 1st deadline and fill out the 2007-2008 FAFSA form in addition to the 2008-2009 form. The 2007-2008 FAFSA form must be submitted and received by June 30, 2008.
