Tuition and Financial Aid
Graduate students at Taylor University are eligible for the Federal Stafford Loan Program and can generally borrow up to the full cost of attendance (tuition and fees, books and materials, computer, etc.).
The student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov, listing Taylor University Upland (001838) as a recipient of the data. The FAFSA must be completed each academic year (which covers July 1 through June 30 for federal financial aid purposes). The FAFSA should be completed two-to-three months before the student needs the loan funds. Upon receipt of the student's FAFSA data, Taylor University's Financial Aid Office will review the data and may request additional information if necessary. Once the file is complete, the Financial Aid Office will send an Award Letter identifying the student's loan eligibility and providing detailed instructions for completing the loan application process.
This loan program offers a fixed interest rate with a cap of 6.8%, and repayment of the loan principal is deferred until after graduation or until the student ceases to be enrolled at least half-time.
If you have questions regarding financial aid, please contact the Financial Aid office .
Course tuition in the program is $475 per credit hour (rate for 2007-2008 school year).
