Financial Aid - Loans for EMBA Candidates
Executive MBA candidates seeking financial aid should first complete and submit the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), website: www.fafsa.ed.gov. Executive MBA graduate students may qualify for a federal subsidized or unsubsidized Stafford loan. On both loans, student borrowers will have a six month "grace period" before your loan repayment begins. The University of Texas at Arlington's School code is 003656. Executive MBA candidates should be eligible for the maximum annual loan amount of $20,500 for the 2009-2010 EMBA Program.
