What could affect your aid?

As a graduate student, your education plans may be in flux. Learn more about how these changes might affect your financial aid.

Private scholarships

Private scholarships are aid you don't have to repay. The gift aid Bethel gives will only be reduced if your total gift aid exceeds your tuition charges. Your loan eligibility will be reduced if needed to keep your total aid package within federal limits.

Dropping credits or withdrawing

If you're considering dropping credits or withdrawing from Bethel mid-term, contact us before making any changes to talk through how this will affect your aid.

To maintain direct subsidized and unsubsidized loan eligibility, you must be enrolled at least half-time (three credits per term for master's degree students, six credits per term for licensure-only students).
