Federal Aid
The Master of Education programs are eligible for Federal Financial aid. You can apply for these loans by going online to www.fafsa.ed.gov and fiing a FAFSA using The Graceland University (Lamoni, Iowa) school code of 001866. These loans are low interest loans and payment is deferred until six months after you graduate or withdraw from our program. Under certain circumstanes, the federal government will forgive all or part of an educational loan. For more information, contact the Graceland University financial aid office at 888-427-8979.
Once your FAFSA is filed, verification completed if necessary, and you have completed the admissions process to Graceland, an award notice with the amount of aid you are eligible for in a one year's time period will be mailed to your home address. Until you have completed the financial aid process, student accounts will require that you make payments on the classes you enroll in.
Once your aid package is in place, you will be reimbursed with your loan money.
NOTE: Verification is a strictly random selection process required by the government. If you are selected, it will require the submission of a signed copy of your U.S. federal income tax return, copies of W-2s, and a completed verification worksheet which will be sent to you by Graceland.
Teach Grants
The new Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant Program provides up to $8,000 for graduate students who teach or intend to teach full-time in high need subject areas for at least four years at schools that serve students from low-income families. You may qualify if you teach low-income students in the following high needs subject areas: bilingual education, foreign language, mathematics, reading specialists, science, and special education. For more information about this once in a lifetime opportunity visit www.teachgrant.ed.gov.

Cost of books or materials can be included for some programs (Quality Schools). A one time non-refundable processing fee of $35 will be charged for this option. Payments will be charged against your elected bank card or checking account. If you wish to take full advantage of this plan, your counselor will assist you in this process.
