* Subject to a student's eligibility for federal student aid.
** Federal Graduate PLUS Loans are subject to credit approval as well as federal student loan eligibility requirements.
***The maximum amount of aid is smaller for students who receive no Graduate PLUS loans, because an adjustment is included in the budgets of students who borrow Graduate PLUS which is intended to offset the loan fees charged on the Graduate PLUS.
Some students will receive other funds than those listed; in such cases those funds will typically replace Graduate PLUS loans, then Unsubsidized Loans, on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
