Financial Aid Office
North Central College administers federal, state, and private sources of financial aid. Graduate students are eligible for up to $20,500 in the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan annually (summer, fall, and spring semesters included). Graduate students must complete the FAFSA for Federal Direct Loan opportunities. Federal educational loans may have advantages over consumer loans, including lower interest rates and more favorable repayment terms. In additional to an unsubsidized federal direct loan, some Graduate students apply for the Graduate PLUS.
