Funding Your Graduate Studies @ HU
Harrisburg University promotes and facilitates the pursuit of lifelong education. We work with you to determine your eligibility for generous University scholarship and federal student loans.
For full-time students pursuing a graduate degree, we offer several scholarships and awards, including:
- HU Graduate Legacy Award. This $3,000 award is for full-time graduate students enrolling in a graduate program for the 2007-08 academic year.
- HU Graduate Merit Award. Awarded to graduate students enrolled at least half-time with a minimum GPA of 3.0.
- HU Graduate Opportunity Award. Awarded based on financial need to graduate students enrolled at least half-time with an expected family contribution (EFC) below $4,000.
Of course, there are student loans, too. A graduate student can borrow as much as $18,500 through the Federal Stafford Loan program. Students may also borrow funds from the Graduate PLUS Loan or Alternative Student Loan programs.
Tuition reimbursement goes further at HU. Under our Employer Deferred Payment Plan, if your employer offers tuition reimbursement, you can defer your tuition payment until the end of the semester. Just ask for the details on our EDP plan. Additionally, HU offers all students the option of choosing an interest-free monthly payment plan to cover the remaining cost of tuition.
We’ve made funding your graduate studies an easy process. First, complete the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) found online at www.FAFSA.ed.gov. The University’s school code is 039483. You can get a copy of the FAFSA in HU’s Office of Financial Aid. Once you complete the FAFSA process, we review your eligibility for University scholarships during a one-on-one financial advising session with Financial Aid Services.
