TUITION LOANS
Please visit the Tuition Loan section of the student accounts webpage.
The loan office is located in the main lobby of the McDowell Business Administration Building (BA 171).
The University's Institutional Loan program offers two types of short term loans--tuition loans and emergency loans.
Tuition loans pay the full amount of tuition/fees only and cannot be used to pay housing or other university charges (including UPD traffic tickets). Students do not receive a check with this loan - a credit is made to offset tuition/fee charges. Tuition loans can cover course fees as well, but not late registration fees or reinstatement fees. Applications for tuition loans must be submitted by 12th class day for Fall/Spring terms and 4th class day for summer terms.
Tuition loans can be done online by using the LeoPay link on myLEO.
There is a $35 processing fee required at sign up.
Emergency loans are in the form of a check to the student and are intended to pay educational expenses (books, supplies, etc). Loans are currently limited to a maximum of $400 but exceptions to that amount may be granted on a case-by-case basis in situations of pressing financial need (support documentation may be required).
For questions, please call 903-886-5051.

STEP 1: The application period begins January 1 of each year for the following award year. Applicants must re-apply for financial aid each year. As soon as possible after January 1, an applicant should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), or the Renewal FAFSA at www.studentaid.gov.
STEP 2: After 2 or 3 days from the filing date of the FAFSA, the applicant should check the status of their application (under the follow-up section) at the FAFSA website: www.studentaid.gov. Read the comments section and review the Student Aid Report (SAR) online. If you are selected for verification, you will need to submit a verification form and income tax return(s) for all persons completing the FAFSA income sections. The verification form can be found on the financial aid webpage under forms. If you find any errors in your Student aid Report (SAR), contact the Financial Aid Office before you make any corrections.
STEP 3: Applications for assistance cannot be fully considered until all of the required application forms are received by the Office of Financial Aid and the applicant is fully admitted as a regular degree-seeking student. Contact the Admissions Office for admission information.
