Question
What are the requirements to receive aid as a graduate student?
Answer
Graduate students who meet the following criteria may be eligible to receive federal financial aid:
- Regularly admitted to a Graduate Program at the University of Arizona,
- be a U.S. Citizen or an eligible Non-Citizen,
- maintain Satisfactory Academic Standing, and
- enrolled for required credit hours during each semester that aid is received (a minimum of 5 during the fall and spring semesters, and a minimum of 5 during the summer.)
If you are working on your dissertation, you only need to be registered for 3 units of 900 level.
It is also possible to receive loans for 1 unit of 900 level course work, by applying for Advance Status.
