Master’s Program Financial Aid
McCormick generally does not fund master’s students. However, master’s students are provided with a variety of federal and private loan options so they can fund their educations regardless of financial circumstances.
Get information about applying for student loans and additional sources of financial aid from The Graduate School at Northwestern.
The Evanston Office of Graduate Financial Aid assists current and incoming students with these loan processes and provides sound debt management services. Contact them at (847) 491-8950 or by email at gradfinaid@northwestern.edu.
