Financial Assistance
Graduate students are eligible to borrow money from the Federal Stafford loan program to assist with their educational expenses. Currently, students who qualify may borrow up to $8,500 per academic year through the subsidized program and $10,000 through the unsubsidized program. Subsidized loans have the interest deferred until six months after the student ceases to be enrolled at least half time. Students are responsible for paying the interest on unsubsidized loans as it becomes due. In some cases, the interest may be deferred until after graduation.

In order to be considered for either program, students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Applications for financial assistance and for the loan programs are available at the Office of Financial Assistance in Johnson Hall. You may also apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Business Administration Scholarships
Two merit scholarship funds provide financial assistance to enrolled, degree seeking students in the Master of Business Administration program. Information about these scholarships is mailed to eligible students. Please contact Page Midyette for information.

The Shearon Harris Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Shearon Harris, a Meredith trustee, chairman of the Board of Associates and an exemplary community leader. His family established the fund to express a commitment to church-related higher education to perpetuate his interest in Meredith College students.

The Wyford Scholarships are made possible by a bequest from Louise Ledford Wyatt, a Meredith graduate of the class of 1930. The Wyford Scholarship Fund was established by her husband, Guy E. Wyatt; her mother, Bess J. Hord; and her father, John Ferris Ledford.
