Financial Aid: Scholarships, Grants, Loans and Work-Study
There are many ways to afford a graduate education. Here are just a few.
Scholarships and grants are types of aid that do not have to be repaid and that can help to directly reduce your tuition expenses. View applicable scholarships on our Graduate Scholarships and Grants page.
Financial awards may change at any time without notice. It is the student's responsibility to check information at dominican.edu for the most current award levels. Last Updated: February 12, 2025.
Federal loans are available to help graduate students meet the cost of attending Dominican. Most graduate students are eligible for up to $20,500 each award year in Unsubsidized Stafford Loans. Additional federal and private loans are available if needed.

To apply, please submit a FAFSA. Federal loans will be included in your financial aid award.
