Financial Aid Policy
Graduate students who are taking at least three (3) hours of course work in a degree-seeking program and are in good standing on past federal student loans are eligible to apply for a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford loan.
Students are expected to be making satisfactory progress toward a degree. Students receiving federal student loans must be enrolled for at least three (3) hours at the beginning of each semester. Failure to enroll will result in all or a portion of the loan being returned to the lender.
To meet federal regulations regarding enrollment status pertaining to loan disbursements and refunds from loan proceeds, the University must delay the disbursement of loan proceeds until at least three weeks into each semester.
Students must submit a new application for federal aid (FAFSA) each year they are enrolled and want to receive federal loans. This can be done online at www.fafsa.gov.
Information concerning financial aid is available on TNU4U. You may also email the Office of Financial Services at SGCSFinancialServices@trevecca.edu.
Students utilizing financial aid that drop a course may be eligible to complete a Notice of Intent (NOI) if they plan to return within the same semester and within 45 calendar days. A NOI is not an option in all circumstances and students should contact SGCS Financial Services about their specific situation. Approved NOI’s allow the student to remain eligible for financial aid for the current semester without having to complete a Return to Title IV calculation for financial aid. If the NOI is not received within 4 calendar days the student will be dropped from the remainder of the semester and a return of funds calculation will be performed. Students may complete the NOI request at https://www.trevecca.edu/landing-page/notice-of-intent.
