Frequently Asked Questions
Financing an MFE degree
What financial aid is available for domestic students?
The MFE Program does not offer scholarships or grants. All assistance is in the form of loans which must be repaid after graduation or dropping below 6 units. Federal financial aid in the form of loans is available for students who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
To apply for need-based and non-need-based
federal loans, complete the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The
data will be electronically transmitted to Berkeley's Financial
Aid Office. The UC Berkeley educational code for the FAFSA
is 001312. You must be officially admitted to the MFE program
before financial aid can be processed. Due to the nontraditional
academic calendar of the MFE Program, two FAFSAs (Free Application
for Federal Student Aid) must be filed per MFE year.
