How Will You Pay Tuition?
Students have a variety of options to fund the cost of their education. Some of the most frequently used funding options are included below, but we encourage you to consult with the Financial Aid Office and / or a financial advisor when determining the best options available.
Loans
Most students who attend our programs utilize a combination of federal need-based financial aid, employer reimbursement, scholarships, and personal funds. Need-based awards are loans from the U.S. federal government that are administered by the Tulane University Financial Aid Office. The Tulane FAFSA code is 002029. Two types of loans are offered:
If federal loans are unavailable or insufficient, we can help you explore private or alternative education loans. Unlike federal loans, private loans do not require a FAFSA to apply. Private loans are not based on need and approval is generally based on creditworthiness and ability to repay. Some students may need to apply with a credit-worthy co-signer. Interest rates, grace periods, repayment options and fees are determined by the lender and can vary considerably from lender to lender; generally, they charge higher rates than Federal loans.
Tulane University U.S. Peace Corps and Fulbright Initiative
The Tulane University 2020 Peace Corps and Fulbright Initiative was created to make graduate study more accessible to U.S. Peace Corps volunteers (PCVs) and Fulbright grantees called back from international pavements due to COVID-19. Tulane University is offering scholarships to recently returned PCVs and Fulbright student grantees who are admitted and enter Tulane graduate programs starting in summer 2020, fall 2020, and spring 2021.
