In 2006-07 Graduate Students received Student Direct Loans totaling more than $11 million. Other forms of Federal Student Aid awarded to Graduate and Professional Students include Federal Work Study and Perkins Loans. Graduate students are not eligible for Federal and State grants such as the Pell, SEOG, and MAP grants. Students apply for Federal Financial Aid electronically using the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). A link to the electronic FAFSA can be found on our website http://www.siue.edu/financialaid/. Graduate students must be pursuing a graduate degree (classified graduate status), and be enrolled in at least 5 hours. Other eligibility criteria can be found on our website http://www.siue.edu/financialaid/.
