Guide to Requesting Loans and/or Federal Work-Study for Incoming Fall 2026 Students

This page is intended for use by incoming Fall 2026 GSAS students. 

Cost of Attendance figures for the 2026-27 Academic Year are not yet available. Updated figures for 2026-27 will be made available on the Cost of Attendance webpage once finalized tuition and fees are approved by the University Trustees in June.

Further information on processes to request loans or federal Work-Study will be updated here later this spring. All incoming students can view the recording and slides from a previously held MA Financing information session hosted by our office. 

U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents can view this Student Financial Services webpage for information regarding the upcoming changes to the Federal Loan Programs.
