Concurrent Programs and Financial Aid

Some academic departments offer concurrent degree programs that allow students to pursue a bachelor's degree and a master's degree at the same time. Eligibility for various types of financial aid will vary depending upon whether a student is classified by his or her department as an undergraduate or graduate student. Students who are classified as undergraduates may be eligible for continuation of undergraduate aid such as JHU need-based grant funds. Students who are classified as graduate students may be eligible for a partial tuition waiver or for research and teaching assistantships. The amounts of these awards are determined by the academic department. When a student is classified as a graduate student, he or she is no longer eligible for undergraduate institutional aid, including Bloomberg Scholarship, Hodson Scholarship, or Westgate Scholarship.

Loan limits for the federal student loan programs change when a student's classification changes from undergraduate to graduate. The annual maximum of combined subsidized and unsubsidized Federal Direct Student Loan for an undergraduate junior or senior is $5,500. The annual maximum of combined subsidized and unsubsidized Federal Direct Student Loan for a graduate student (in any year of his or her program) is $20,500. A student who is classified as a graduate student is no longer eligible for undergraduate federal student aid including Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG, Federal SMART Grant, or Federal Parent PLUS loans.

Students enrolled in concurrent programs should consult with their academic advisors to determine at what point in their programs their status will change from undergraduate to graduate.
