Financial Aid

Grad school is all about igniting your passions and rediscovering your love for learning—until you get the bill. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Your Student Experience Mentor is your resident expert on all things paying-for-grad-school. Go ahead and click Let’s Talk to get in touch! We don't want anything—including money—to get in the way of your education.

Financial Aid Application Process

Students interested in financial aid should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at https://studentaid.gov/. Be sure to add our federal school code (003301) to your FAFSA so that they send the information over to us.

Which FAFSA should I file?

  • Complete the 2024-25 FAFSA if you are starting Summer 2024 through Summer 2025.
  • Complete the 2025-26 FAFSA if you are starting Summer 2025 through Summer 2026.

For summer 2025 starts, file both years to maximize your eligibility! 

Federal Loans

Federal Unsubsidized/Subsidized Direct Loans

Federal Direct Graduate Plus Loans

After a graduate or professional student has exhausted their loan eligibility, they may be eligible to borrow from the Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loan Program. Grad PLUS loans have an annual borrowing limit of up to the full cost of attendance minus other financial aid received. Unlike the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan Program, which does not rely on the borrower’s credit history in any way, an approved Grad PLUS borrower cannot have an adverse credit history (e.g., bankruptcy, foreclosure, repossession, tax lien, default, or current delinquency of 90 or more days on any debt).

Other supplemental student loans are available from private lenders for students who meet lender credit requirements. Students who need to supplement their Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans with Grad PLUS or private loans are encouraged to explore all borrowing options with one of Moravian University’s expert financial aid counselors. We are here to help you!

Private Alternative Loans

Private Alternative Loans can be a good option after federal loan eligibility is exhausted or to use for graduate certificate programs for which federal aid is currently not available. These loans are credit based, and a co-signer may be used. They have variable or fixed interest rate options. Students may select any lender they would like or may choose from Moravian’s recommended list of lenders. Click here for more information on private loans.
