Financial Aid

Financial Aid

Financial Aid can be obtained in the form of student loans. Each form of aid has its own eligibility and application requirements. It is extremely important that incoming students investigate the details of their financial aid requirements early to avoid any missed deadlines. Please check each type of aid for specific dates.

Loans for Domestic Students

United States citizens or permanent residents of the United States interested in applying for student loans must fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Filling out the FAFSA form determines eligibility for federal loans. The Smith School does not manage the FAFSA or student loan process.

The Office of Student Financial Aid provides students an additional resource.

Loans for International Students

International students holding the following visas are not eligible for any federal, state, or institutional loans:

Student Visas (F1 and F2)
Exchange Visitor Visas (J1 and J2)
