Financial Aid – United States
Medical University of the Americas (MUA) participates in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan Program and Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loan Program, which are both offered through the U.S. Department of Education. Federal student aid from the U.S. Department of Education, such as the Federal Direct Loan Programs, helps eligible students cover educational expenses such as tuition and fees, housing and food, books and supplies, and transportation. Additional information about these loan programs may be found on the U.S. Department of Education’s website at studentaid.gov.
To apply for a Federal Direct Loan, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) through the U.S. Department of Education’s website at studentaid.gov. MUA’s school code for the FAFSA is G39003. The information you provide on the FAFSA will be used by MUA to determine how much student aid you are eligible to receive.
