Financial Aid

Qualified students enrolled in the Presbyterian College School of Pharmacy are eligible for financial aid. Typically, only loans are available to finance any balance.

Presbyterian College offers the following loan programs to Pharmacy Students:

  • Direct Student Loans (through FAFSA)
  • Graduate Direct PLUS Loans (through FAFSA)
  • Private/Alternative Loans (through alternative lenders/programs)

Direct Student loans can be borrowed through the Direct Loan program. Graduate students have additional annual and aggregate loan limits over undergraduate students. Graduate and professional degree students are now eligible to borrow under the Direct PLUS Loan Program up to their cost of attendance minus other estimated financial assistance from the Direct Loan Program. Private/alternative loans can be used by students who may not qualify for the Graduate Direct PLUS loan or who wish to borrow from a different source.

ATTENTION:

COVID-19 relief for federal student loan payment pause has been extended through Aug. 31, 2022.

Know who you owe: Failure to pay may result in delinquency or default, negatively affecting your credit history.
