To receive federal aid, applicants must complete a FAFSA application. Dependent students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible to borrow up to $5,500 (subsidized and/or unsubsidized) through the Federal Direct Loan Program. Independent students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible to borrow up to $12,500 through the Federal Direct Loan Program. Federal aid is not available for international students.
If additional funding is necessary after all potential grants, federal aid, and scholarship opportunities are exhausted, students may choose to obtain an alternative loan to help with tuition, fees, and living expenses. To apply for alternative loans, students will apply directly to the lender, then the lender will work with Temple to disperse the loan funds to your student account. Temple Dental urges student borrowers to do their research on different private loan lenders, understand the terms of various loan agreements, and choose one that best suits their needs.
