The ‘Disbursements’ tab will reflect the status and date of disbursed awards.
Additional Steps to Receive Federal Loans
If you are a US citizen or permanent resident and have completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the award notification will also reflect your eligibility for Federal Direct Loans. If you have not yet completed your FAFSA, and would like to be considered for federal aid, please complete the FAFSA form. The federal school code for Johns Hopkins SAIS is E00474. In addition, qualified US citizens or permanent residents may be eligible to receive additional loans through the Federal Direct Grad Plus Program. This loan program allows you to borrow up to the cost of attendance.
If you are receiving federal loans, you will also need to complete Entrance Loan Counseling and a Master Promissory Note (MPN). For more information on federal loans, visit our financial aid checklist.
Private Loans
Private loans are also available to assist international students (non-US) in financing educational costs. For most of these loans, the student is the borrower and a US cosigner is required. Interest rates are generally variable. For questions to ask when considering a private loan, see Private Loans.
