Loans

Domestic and permanent U.S. residents may apply for state and federal loans by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You will need to authorize The University of Texas at Austin to receive your FAFSA information by entering the following Title IV School Code: 003658. The priority application deadline is March 31st.

To check the status of the processing of your FAFSA at the Federal Student Aid processing center, call (800) 4FED-AID and select option #1.

Alternatively, the Executive MBA Loans program sponsored by the Graduate Management Admission Council also offers student loans. For more information, contact them at (888) 440-4622 or visit them online.
