Financial Aid
Every student is eligible for financial aid. However, the options are different for US citizens, US permanent residents, and international students. Chicago Booth does not grant scholarships to Evening MBA and Weekend MBA students.
Student loans for US Citizens and US Permanent Residents
There are three loan programs available to Evening MBA and Weekend MBA students.
Federal Direct Stafford Loan - The Federal Direct Stafford loan is available to US citizens and US permanent residents who enroll in two or more courses each quarter. The Stafford loan, which is not credit-based, carries a fixed interest rate of 6.8 percent and an annual borrowing limit of $20,500.
Federal Direct GradPLUS Loan - The Federal Direct GradPLUS loan is available to US citizens and US permanent residents who enroll in two or more courses each quarter. The Federal Direct GradPLUS loan is a credit-based federal loan that can be used to supplement the Federal Direct Stafford loan. The interest rate is fixed at 7.9 percent and there is a 4 percent origination fee. Students can borrow up to the full cost of attendance (set by the financial aid office) minus all other financial assistance.
Private, credit-based alternative loan - All students can apply for a private, credit-based alternative loan. Students can borrow up to the full cost of attendance (set by the financial aid office) minus all other financial assistance. The terms of private loans are set by the lender.
