Financial Aid
Empire College School of Law cares about our students. We understand that not everyone can easily pay for college. This is why we accept many forms of financial aid and assistance to help you in achieving your dreams.
LOAN PROGRAMS
A student may borrow under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (MLS program only).
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan (loans up to $20,500 per academic year for graduate students): The Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan is not based on financial need. The interest payments on a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan begin immediately after the loan is fully disbursed or may be added to the principal balance.
Federal Direct Graduate Plus Loan (Loans up to the cost of education less any other financial aid): Repayment commences as early as 60 days after the loans are made. Students can defer payments until they are out of school.
College Work-Study: The Federal Work-Study Program provides jobs for students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. The program encourages community service work and work related to each student’s course of study.
Empire College also participates in a number of private, alternative loan programs including the Career and Community College Loan administered by Wells Fargo Bank.
