Financial Aid

Graduate Institute Students


New Students

Applications for financial aid from approved applicants are processed on a rolling basis. Because the availability of grants is limited, and they are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, applicants are urged to apply as early as possible.  Applicants are notified of their aid award within three weeks of the approval of their admissions applications or of the completed submission of the required financial aid documentation, whichever is later. No action will be taken on a financial application until a candidate is approved for admission to the Graduate Institute.

Students accepted into the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Master of Arts in Eastern Classics have significantly better chance of having their full demonstrated need met if they are accepted into the Graduate Institute and have completed their FAFSA by the following dates:

Annapolis Campus
Fall term: - March 1
Spring term - September 1
Summer term - February 15

Santa Fe Campus
Fall term - May 1
Spring term - September 1
Summer term - March 1
