Financial Aid

The first step in applying for financial aid (including loans) is to submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students may apply online at the FAFSA website.

Students seeking financial aid are encouraged to visit the CSUSB Financial Aid Office website. All applicants must maintain satisfactory progress.

Students taking prerequisite courses under the direction of a graduate program in preparation for entrance are eligible for one year of loans.

The Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships offers information on:

  • Federal Loans
  • Grants
  • Scholarships

For specific questions related to financial aid for the MSCA online program, please reach out to Nicolette Cusino, Financial Aid Advisor/Liaison at (909) 537-5220 or via email at nicolette.cusino@csusb.edu .

 

Installment Payment Plan

Students may request an Installment Payment Plan (IPP) if they are unable to pay the full cost of the program by the payment deadline. An IPP allows students to pay tuition in up to three or four installments throughout the course:

The first payment will be half the cost of tuition for the course block, plus a $33 administrative fee. The remaining half of the tuition for the course will be divided into equal payments, which must be paid in full by the last day of class.

For more information regarding a payment plan, please call (909) 537-5975.

 

Private Student Loans / Alternative Loans

The College of Extended and Global Education (CEGE) certificate programs and courses are eligible for private loans. The choice of a lender and guarantor is a decision and responsibility only you may make as the borrower. CEGE does not endorse or have an affiliation with any lender. Please contact your financial institution for further information about their private student loan program.

 

CEGE Private Student Loan Guidelines

Arrangements for any student private loan must be made before registration for CEGE courses or certificates. Full payment of tuition for each course is due at the time of registration. Loan certification is not a guarantee, and terms and conditions must be accepted by CEGE.

  • Steps: · Apply for a private loan with a lender of your choice, or apply here
  • Notify CEGE of approved private loans
    • Please call the CEGE office at (909) 537-5976
    • CEGE will certify your loan with the lender
    • Please note that CEGE is only able to certify the loan relating to the total estimated cost of the tuition
  • The lender will disburse the funds to the school and the funds are posted to your account.
    • Any overpayment from the loan will be disbursed to you by check
    • Any unpaid balance after the loan funds are disbursed will be due immediately, to be paid by the student

 

Employer Tuition Reimbursement

Many companies and organizations have tuition reimbursement programs available to their employees. Check with your Human Resources department for requirements, qualifications, and processes. A financial guarantee from your employer will need to be provided to our office before being enrolled into the program.

 

Local Lending Institutions

Local banks and credit unions offer private educational loan programs for degrees and continuing education. Check with your local preferred lending institution to see what programs are available to you.
