Students demonstrating need may qualify for federally funded programs, including the Subsidized Stafford Loan, the Federal Perkins Loan, and the Federal Work-Study program. All US citizens, regardless of need, may apply for Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, Business Access Loans, and MBA Tuition Loans. Loan repayment is deferred for up to six months after you complete or discontinue your studies. The repayment period is normally 10 years, unless you are consolidating loans. Federal Perkins Loans are administered through Vanderbilt and are limited to students documenting the highest need.
Interest rates are variable.
Employment US citizens and permanent residents documenting highest need may qualify for the Federal Work-Study Program. Work-study jobs are available in the Owen School, and some have flexible hours. Most work-study positions require 10 to 12 hours per week. The Office of Admissions and Student Services posts work-study jobs during orientation. You must have post-baccalaureate work experience to be considered for merit awards.
