Graduate Student Financial Aid Application Process

Students who attend MSUM for a second bachelor’s degree different from their first degree, certain certifications, or licensures, or students completing work for a graduate program at MSUM are eligible for federal student aid.

Students seeking a second major or minor are not eligible for federal student aid, but may apply for private loans.

Non-degree seeking students are not eligible for federal student aid. There are two options for assistance covering educational expenses:

1. Set up a payment plan with Nelnet Business Solutions.
2. Apply for a private student loan. Some private loans require applicants to complete the FAFSA. We will contact you if that is a requirement or in additional information is necessary.
