More Financial Aid Options
The Portland State University Master of International Management (MIM) degree is a great value and the Portland State University Financial Aid Office can assist you in utilizing federal, private, and institutional funding programs to assist you in financing your degree. When determining your financial need, the Financial Aid Office considers the tuition, cost of living, and other additional expenses to establish your maximum aid eligibility. Visit the PSU Financial Aid Office at www.pdx.edu/finaid for more information.

Loan Options
Student loans are funds that are borrowed and must be repaid over a period of time, usually after you leave school or drop below half-time enrollment. PSU participates in the Federal Direct Lending Program, which means that loan funds are borrowed from the federal government instead of a banking institution.

To be eligible for federal aid, you will need to file a Free Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA institutional code number for PSU is 003216. You can and should apply for financial aid before you are formally accepted to the MIM program. Your aid will then be awarded after you have been officially admitted to Portland State University. Visit the official FAFSA website at www.fafsa.ed.gov for more information and to begin an application.

• The lowest interest educational loans usually come in the form of a Federal Stafford Loan. For Graduate students this loan has a maximum award of $20,500 per academic year (usually a combination of subsidized and unsubsidized loans). To be eligible for these loans, you must complete the FAFSA form.
• Additional alternative loans may available; however you must apply for these loans separately through a preferred provider. The Financial Aid Office can assist you with this.
• Federal Perkins Loan funds and Federal Work-Study funds are available to qualified applicants as well, and may require an additional application.

Permanent Residents and Other Non-citizens
Permanent residents are eligible for federal financial aid. Certain other non-citizens may also be eligible; you should contact the PSU Financial Aid Office for details.

International Students
Students in the U.S. on any type of visa are not eligible for federal financial aid. You may be able to apply for a non-federal alternative loan with a U.S. cosigner; contact the PSU Financial Aid Office for details.

Refunds
If your enrollment status changes during the MIM program or you choose to alter your credit load the tuition charges will be refunded according to PSUs refund policy.

PSU Payment Plans
PSU provides students the option of establishing a tuition payment plan by opting into the revolving charge account system through your PSU account online. This will allow you to make three payments each term on your tuition bill.
