Executive Masters of Business Distance Program

The Purdue University Division of Financial Aid can assist you in obtaining student loan funding. If you are degree seeking and meet financial aid citizenship requirements, you may be eligible for the Stafford Loan and/or Graduate PLUS Loan programs. International students with a U.S. citizen cosigner may be eligible for alternative loan options.

To be considered for the Stafford Loan and/or Graduate PLUS Loan programs, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Visit www.purdue.edu/dfa/all/applying.php for more information on how to apply.

Financial assistance may also be available Private/Alternative Loan programs. A cosigner may be required if you have no credit, have an insufficient credit history, or are an international student.  You can obtain more information about alternative loans at www.purdue.edu/dfa/loans/altloans.php.

Separate loan disbursements are made for each semester of enrollment.  Lenders usually disburse loan proceeds to Purdue University who will apply them to any unpaid fees, and disburse the remaining funds to you. 

You can borrow up to Purdue's estimated cost of education, which includes allowances for fees and travel.  Maximum loan amounts per module are as follows:

It is recommended that loan requests be made at least one month prior to the beginning of the semester of enrollment, however, Stafford Loan and Graduate PLUS Loan requests can be accepted anytime during the semester.

Please feel free to contact us should you have further questions.
