Financial Aid

The University of Rhode Island Federal School Code is 003414.

Graduate students are eligible for federal unsubsidized loans and federal graduate plus loans. Graduate students can also seek loans from alternative third-party lenders.

If you are enrolled at least half-time (4.5 credits) in 1 session, you are eligible to receive financial aid.

Federal financial aid is not available for certificate programs. Students enrolled in a certificate can apply for student loans with a third-party lender.

Financial Assistance

Students seeking financial aid for certificate programs should seek alternative loans. There are a number of opportunities to explore:
