Loan Options for Less-Than-Half-Time Grad Students

Finding the time to get a graduate degree is not easy. Whether you are balancing a family, a full-time job, or both, some prospective grad students are forced to only take one or two classes per semester to accommodate their schedule.

Securing financial aid can be very difficult as well. If you are a less than half-time student, you are ineligible to receive federal financial aid.

But there are options.  You can visit our private student loan comparison tool to get an overview of lender criteria.

If you have a full-time job, check with your employer to see if there are any tuition reimbursement programs. Many companies will cover some or all of an employee’s tuition if they are involved in a program that would benefit their current career path.

Finally, you can consider an online degree. Online degrees are generally more flexible with course offerings. Visit Edvisors.com for additional information about this option and to find out which online school is best for you.
