Paying for College at MSUB

Is your goal to attend college, but you have no idea how to make it all work financially? MSUB provides financial education information and resources to help you pay for college and manage money. Financial aid, scholarships, and payment plans are available for both traditional students and adult learners. Get an overview of the financial aid process and how to estimate your college expenses, so you can plan ahead and achieve your academic and career goals.

FAFSA/Financial Aid Process

Financial Aid is a process. Applying is the first step! Do you need help filing the FAFSA or applying for scholarships? Do you know how to monitor the status of your financial aid award? Do you have questions about how to complete financial aid verification requirements? Do you have a special circumstance requiring a financial aid appeal? We provide you with tips and a timeline to help you navigate the financial aid process.  Help is available. The paperwork is worth it!

Student Loans: Borrow Smart

While not a loan application, the FAFSA can qualify you for low interest federal student loans to help you cover the costs of attending school. You do not have to make payments while continuously enrolled Fall/Spring in at least 6 credits. You can decline loans, or accept a portion. Unsubsidized loans are available to all eligible students, regardless of family income.  Learn how to borrow smart, track debt, and manage student loan repayment.
