FAFSA Forms Heading link
The University of Illinois at Chicago utilizes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to determine eligibility for financial aid. You must be enrolled in at least 5 credit hours and maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined by the UIC Financial Aid Office. UIC’s FAFSA school code is 001776.
After you submit your FAFSA application and any additional documents that may be requested, you will receive a financial aid award notification listing any aid you are eligible to receive.
The following major financial aid programs are available at UIC:
- Federal Direct Loan (subsidized and unsubsidized)
- Graduate PLUS Loan
- Illinois Veterans Grant
Graduate Certificate Program Heading link
The online graduate certificate program does not result in a degree. So financial aid is not offered for this program.
Certificate program students may wish to look into alternative loans, also known as private loans. These are educational loans offered through banks or other financial lenders.
