Financial Aid and Scholarships

Financial aid is available to eligible students based on their financial need. Applicants must apply for financial aid through CSUSB or directly from outside funding sources. The MSPA program has no direct involvement in the determining and/or granting of any financial aid.

General information and application forms for financial aid are available at: Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships | CSUSB

Financial aid applicants who meet all the deadlines will be considered for the Federal Stafford Loan and Federal GradPlus Loan. United States government guidelines preclude international students from receiving federal financial assistance through the CSUSB Financial Aid Office. However, international students are eligible and may apply for private financing programs.
