For
Graduate Students
Graduate students who are matriculated, enrolled at least half-time
and are US Citizens or Eligible Non-Citizens are eligible to apply for
a Federal Stafford Loan. Students must submit the following for
summer 2008; fall 2008 and spring semester 2009:
1. Free
Application for Federal Student Aid. The student may complete this
on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
2.
Wesleyan Graduate Student Financial
Aid Application and instructions
(.pdf) - Completed by the student.
3.
Graduate Student Status Confirmation
form (.pdf) - Completed by the Graduate or GLSP Office.
4. A
copy of his/her signed, 2007 Federal Tax Return and W2 form(s). If
married, the spouse's federal tax return must also be included, if
filed separately.
5. If
selected by the Federal Student Aid Programs, a completed
Independent Verification Worksheet.
Once
these documents are submitted, determination of eligibility for a
Federal Subsidized or Unsubsidized Stafford Loan will be made by the
Financial Aid Office. The maximum combined loan limit for a Graduate
is the cost of attendance (as determined by Wesleyan) or $20,500,
whichever is less.
An
award letter detailing the amount will be mailed to the student with
accompanying follow-up documents. These documents must be submitted to
the Financial Aid Office to then process the loan.
