Who is eligible to apply for financial aid?
Most University of Washington Executive MBA students qualify to borrow $20,500 per year through the Federal Direct Stafford Unsubsidized Loan Program.  To apply, you must be a U. S. citizen or permanent U.S. resident, must not be in default on a prior federal student loan, and must have registered for the draft if required by law to do so. Otherwise, this program is not based on need, income, or credit. Depending on credit worthiness, EMBA students may also qualify to borrow up to the full amount of the program fee through the private MBA Tuition Loan Program. Foreign residents may apply for this loan with a U.S. citizen co-signer.

How to apply for a Federal Stafford Direct Loan:
To apply for a Federal Direct Stafford Unsubsidized Loan, fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or on paper and submit it to the address included on the application. If you are offered admission to the Executive MBA Program and your FAFSA is approved, the UW Office of Student Financial Aid will send you a financial aid eligibility letter and a promissory note asking how much of the $20,500 annual maximum you wish to borrow. You will need the University of Washington’s federal financial aid code for the FAFSA: 003798.
