Financial Aid: Scholarships, Grants, Loans and Work-Study

There are many ways to afford a graduate education. Here are just a few: 

Scholarships and grants are types of aid that do not have to be repaid and that can help to directly reduce your tuition expenses. View applicable scholarships on our Graduate Scholarships and Grants page.

Financial awards may change at any time without notice. It is the student's responsibility to check information at dominican.edu for the most current award levels. Last Updated: February 3, 2026.

Federal loans are available to help graduate students meet the cost of attending Dominican. Eligible graduate students may borrow up to $20,500 per award year in Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans, subject to federal eligibility requirements and aggregate loan limits. Private education loans may be available to assist with remaining costs.

How to Apply

To apply, please submit a FAFSA. Federal loans will be included in your financial aid award. 

Learn about what types of loans are available on the Graduate Loans page.

Work-Study is an optional form of self-help aid that allows students to apply for on-campus employment (or off-campus work with one of our community service partners) to earn extra money toward their college expenses.
