Law Financial Aid FAQs
Graduate students are eligible to borrow an unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan. A student
who borrows unsubsidized loan funds is responsible for interest; interest accrual
begins on the date of disbursement. The maximum amount of unsubsidized loan that a
student may borrow is up to $50,000 per academic year. A student's eligibility is
determined by subtracting all other forms of aid, including other loans, from the
cost of education. More information regarding federal loan eligibility, limits and recent changes from the "One Big Beautiful
Bill".
