Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program
What
type of financial aid can a post bac student receive at Hopkins?
Post-Bac students may apply to the Office of Student Financial Services
for federal loans from the Direct Student Loan Program. Post-Bac students
may borrow a maximum of $10,500 from the Federal Direct Loan Program.
Up to $5,500 of this amount may be from the Subsidized Direct Loan (no
interest charged and you must qualify on a need-basis). Supplemental loans
are also available from private lenders. You can borrow up to the cost
of education less any other financial aid received from these programs.
Is
the Post-Bac program considered a graduate program?
No, for financial aid purposes this is a 5th year/other undergraduate
program. You must check that box on the FAFSA. If you so not meet the
federal requirements for being an independent student, you must include
parents' data on the FAFSA. (Independent students must meet 1 of these
conditions: be over 24 years old, married, a veteran, an orphan, or supporting
their own dependents).
When should I turn in my financial
aid application?
You should complete your aid application at least 2 months before you
need the funds.
You must submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA
or renewal FAFSA), the Johns Hopkins Post-Baccalaureate Student Application
for Financial Aid (http://www.jhu.edu/finaid/elecserv/),
and a signed copy of your (and your spouse’s) most recent federal
income tax return. Include all pages and W-2's. If you didn’t file
a tax return in the preceding year you should complete the Non-Filing
Statement on the Post-Bac Student Application for Financial Aid.
If you are required to put your parents’ information on the FAFSA,
we also need a copy of their most recent federal income tax return.
You must contact the Lender of your choice directly to apply for a supplemental
loan.
Have I missed the deadline?
There are no hard and fast deadlines, but you must allow a minimum of
2 months from the time you submit your aid application until your loan
is disbursed to your account. In the meantime you are responsible to pay
any tuition charges that are not covered by other sources yourself. If
your charges have been paid, you can receive a refund when the loan is
actually credited to your account.
Be sure to allow adequate time for your Loans to be processed so you don't
run out of money.
How do I get money for living
expenses?
If you need student loan funds for living expenses or to buy books, you
should complete a financial aid application. The Office of Student Financial
Services will determine your eligibility for federal loans. Allow 2 months
for loans to be processed and credited to your account. All loan proceeds
will first be applied to any tuition charges on your bill. If you have
a credit balance remaining after tuition is covered, you can request a
refund and use the money for your other expenses. Refunds can be requested
from the Student Accounts Office
on-line.
