Financial Aid

Federal Financial Aid
  • You must be a US citizen or permanent resident to apply for federal aid.
  • Please note the majority of aid will be loans, regardless of income or need. Grants are very limited for graduate students.
  • The only aid available to international students are private loans that are credit based—you will have to contact a personal bank for more information on this option.
  • Please review the ELM Resources comparison chart to determine which loan product best serves your needs.
  • FAFSA 2020-2021 will be for the Spring 2021 and Summer 2021.
  • The new FAFSA 2021-2022 is now available for the Fall 2021, Spring 2022, and Summer 2022.
  • You must be enrolled in at least 5-6 credit hours to receive financial aid and grants funding.
  • The awards can be revoked if the student does not meet the eligibility enrollment credit hours.
  • Federal loans consist of the Direct Loan (unsubsidized) current interest of 4.30% and origination fee of 1.069%. The unsubsidized loan begins accruing interest immediately after disbursement. The limit on these is $20,500/year which includes Fall, Spring, and Summer.

Financial Aid Application Process
  • If you are interested in receiving financial aid, please complete 2021-2022 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at www.fafsa.ed.gov and list our school code 003652.
  • It takes 3 business days for the application to be transmitted to UH so please email me 3 days after you have completed your FAFSA.
  • Financial Aid Advisor, Karina Galvan, will then inform you if anything is missing from your file before awarding your aid.
  • Please check for any missing Financial Aid items listed in the myUH portal.
  • In some cases, you will be awarded more aid than what your bill will be—this is to assist you, if needed, with living expenses.
  • You do not have to accept the full amount of Financial Aid awarded.
  • If you have a special circumstance or specific questions about additional living expense funds, please contact Karina Galvan.

Fee Bills and Payment Options
  • You can view your fee bill when available on the myUH portal.
  • Fee bills are online; no fee bills are mailed.
  • Methods of payment accepted by the University of Houston: Cash, Check and Credit Card (Master Card, Discover, American Express, and Visa).
