For many students, educational loans are necessary in order to help pay for tuition and other educational related expenses. Graduate students can borrow up to the Cost of Attendance minus any financial aid or other resources.
Loans are considered financial aid and must be paid back, with interest, over time once a student graduates, drops below half-time enrollment, or leaves college for any reason.
When deciding how much (if any) to borrow there are a few things to consider. Students always have the option to decline any or all of their aid package and should accept only what is needed.
