Tackling TuitionBURSAR’S OFFICETuition and other fees are managed through the Bursar’s Office and are due by the first day of class in the respective semester . You will be charged tuition each semester for the courses in which you are registered . Please note that you must access your “V-Bill” online at www.villanova.edu/finance/bursar/paymentmethods/. You will not receive an invoice in the mail or via email .

OFFICE OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCEAll graduate students seeking financial assistance for the 2013-2014 academic year must file the 2013-2014 Free Application for Federal Aid (FAFSA) as well as the 2013-2014 Villanova Graduate Application . Students who completed the 2012-2013 FAFSA will receive email notification instead of the paper renewal FAFSA .

We recommend that graduate students applying for federal financial assistance submit the FAFSA and Villanova Graduate Application at least two months prior to the first day of classes . Please note that the Office of Financial Assistance reviews completed files in the order they are received .

To receive financial aid, graduate students are required to meet the following criteria:

• Must be matriculated/degree-seeking in a graduate-level program . Non-matriculated students and certificate

programs are not currently eligible for federal financial assistance .

• Must be enrolled in at least a half-time status in graduate programs (credits defining half-time status vary per

program) .

• Must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress, which includes maintaining a 3 .0 cumulative GPA and

completing the total number of credits attempted in an academic year .

FINANCING OPTIONSMaximum Direct Loan eligibility for a matriculated graduate student is the $20,500 Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan . The amount of the loan is awarded to you based on a number of factors such as enrollment status, other financial assistance (i .e . employer reimbursement) and cost of attendance . Please note that disbursements MUST be in equal amounts across each semester .

Academic Year Maximum

Fall 2013 $10,250-unsubsidized

Spring 2014 $10,250-unsubsidized

If you choose to take courses during the summer session, you are eligible to borrow the Direct Loan during the summer, which is referred to as a Borrower Based Direct Loan . You need to indicate on the Villanova University Graduate Institutional Financial Aid Application the amount you wish to borrow for each semester .

Borrower Based Loan MaximumSummer 2013/Fall 2013(2013-2014 Academic Year) $20,500

Spring 2014(2013-2014 Academic Year) $10,500

While the maximum amount you can borrow is $20,500, we encourage you to borrow only the amount that you will need to finance your program . You will need to indicate the amount of Direct Loans that you wish to borrow on the Villanova University Graduate Institutional Financial Aid Application . Additionally, before the Direct Loans can disburse, you will need to complete a loan entrance interview and sign a Master Promissory Note for the Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loan at www.studentloans.gov .

14

DIRECT GRADUATE PLUS LOANGraduate students can borrow through a William D . Ford Direct Loan Program - Direct Graduate PLUS . Direct Graduate PLUS Loans give a graduate student a viable alternative to private loans in situations where a student’s Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans have not covered all costs . Some basic facts about the Graduate Direct PLUS Loan are:

• Students can borrow up to “cost less aid”

• Student is the borrower - no cosigner required

• Unlimited in-school deferment

• Fixed interest rates - 7 .9%, fixed interest rate capped at 7 .9%

• Deferred payment while enrolled in school

• No aggregate or annual loan limits

• Based on simplified credit criteria regardless of income or employment status
