These Student Loans are recommended only for students who have exhausted all of their eligibility for Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans and Grad PLUS Loans, or are not eligible for the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans or Grad PLUS loans.
Graduate Students
The cost of obtaining a college degree is an important investment in your future.
ASU has made the commitment to students who demonstrate financial need by meeting
that need with one or more financial aid components. In fact, 90% of all our students
receive some form of financial assistance every year.
Financial Aid Options
The Federal Direct Student Loan is available from the U.S. Department of Education. The loan proceeds are delivered to the school for eligible students and is available to both undergraduate and graduate students to help pay for their educational costs. ASU disburses the loans after they have been approved and processed and classes have begun.
Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loans enable Graduate and Professional students with good credit history to borrow additional funds if they are enrolled at least half-time (3 hours). Direct Grad PLUS loan eligibility is not based on financial need, so these loans are made regardless of income level.
