Loans

Applicants for admission or enrolled students may obtain applications for Federal student loans from the Office of Scholarship and Student Aid or by applying online. Applications should be made by March 1 of each year in order for funds to be available when classes begin in the fall.

An emergency loan fund in memory of the late associate dean Morris R. Gelblum assists students in temporary financial hardship with small non-interest-bearing loans for short periods of time. In addition, the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid has a limited emergency loan fund from which short-term loans up to $500 can be made in critical situations, with repayment due in not more than 90 days. 

The Office of Scholarships and Student Aid also has a limited emergency loan fund from which interest-free, short-term loans up to $800 can be made to cover emergency, non-University expenses.  The repayment date would never be beyond the first day of the last month of the semester in which the loan is borrowed (i.e. December 1 or May 1).
