Changes to Funding for Graduate and Professional Students
Starting with the 2012–2013 academic year, the Department of Education will no longer offer Direct Subsidized Loans to graduate and professional students. The $20,500 annual federal direct loan limit for graduate and professional students will remain the same, but it will be offered as Direct Unsubsidized Loan funding only. For further information regarding this change, please see the IFAP website.
File Your FAFSA
Beginning January 1, you can file your FAFSA online at www.fafsa.gov. The earlier you file your FAFSA the better, so act quickly. Submit the FAFSA even if you don't think you'll qualify for financial aid — it's required for loans and some scholarships.
Be sure to complete your FAFSA application before your priority date in order to be eligible for the maximum amount of financial aid. The priority deadline for entering freshmen and graduate students is February 15, 2012. The priority deadline for all other students is May 1, 2012.
See our Applying for Financial Aid Instructions for more information.

New Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
As required by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) and effective July 1, 2011, Drexel has a revised Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy. The SAP policy establishes the minimum passing GPA and number of earned credits needed to maintain financial aid. It's important for every Drexel student to be aware of these changes. The policy can be found on the Financial Aid Eligibility Policies page.
