Financial Aid
FAFSA is accepting applications for next semester. Many of our students are now using financial aid. You can apply and receive financial aid provided you take two graduate classes (6 hours). We suggest you apply for financial aid at the same time as you apply to MU graduate college.
OASIS Payment Plan
In the fall and spring, payments can be spread out using the Oasis Payment Plan.
Graduate Tuition Benefit
This benefit covers a three-credit course and is available through competitive application to MU graduate students. Students must have a FAFSA form on file with Student Financial Aid to be eligible for this benefit. For more information, consult the MU Graduate College website.
