For many students, educational loans make up a significant part of their financial aid package. To ensure loans appear as anticipated credits on the July 1 fee assessment, applications should be submitted no later than June 1. Students may choose to borrow only for billed expenses such as tuition, the program fee, and health insurance, or they may include living expenses in their borrowing. Eligible U.S. citizens and permanent residents have access to both federal and private student loan options.
Lender information is available through ELMSelect, which provides comparisons of lenders used by SOM students over the past three years. This list is provided for reference only. Students are free to borrow from any lender they prefer.
The Yale SOM Financial Aid Office is here to support students in securing loans. Those pursuing careers in the public or non-profit sectors are encouraged to review SOM’s generous loan forgiveness program.
