Financial Assistance
BGU understands the financial stress that can result from the pursuit of graduate-level education. To help ease that burden, BGU has sought to identify various financial aid opportunities for qualified students wishing to attend BGU but who do not have the financial resources to do so. Our hope is that these resources and financial aid packages will help you move forward with your educational goals. To begin with, here are a few helpful links for internet access to Financial Aid Information. As the borrower, it is important for you to know the regulations regarding borrowing and repayment of Federal funds. The first web link below provides that information.

FAFSA
BGU has been approved as an institution whose students are eligible for Title IV Federal loans. This form of financial aid is based upon the needs of the student. Need is determined based on the cost of attendance and the expected family contribution (EFC) as calculated through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) system.
Steps to Apply: Students who are interested in obtaining a loan through the Direct Loan or FFELP (Stafford Loan Program) will need to follow the following steps. BGU contracts with a Federal Aid specialist to coordinate aid for BGU students. In order to apply for funds, you first must be admitted as a student at BGU. In addition, you cannot be an active student at another school while applying for student loans at BGU.
1. During your admissions process, you will need to supply a “notarized” copy of your ID proving your eligibility to apply for student loans. Pick 1 from the following 3 options:
Notarized US Passport picture page
Notarized copy of your Permanent Residence Card
Notarized US Driver’s License AND Social Security card.
2. Complete the Student Interview form.
3. Complete your FAFSA form.
4. Complete the Master Promissory Note (MPN).
Once all documents are completed, it takes 10 days to 2 weeks to process your aid request providing your interview is in order.
