Graduate Financial Aid

Financial aid for graduate and professional students is available from various sources (institutional, federal, and private) and includes fellowships, scholarships, grants, and loan programs. Financial aid awards are processed annually based on continued financial need, enrollment status, availability of funds, and maintaining satisfactory academic progress.

To apply for financial aid, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by April 15.

Please use the appropriate school code when completing the FAFSA to prevent delays:

• Florham Campus: 004738
• Metropolitan Campus: 002607
