Office of Student Financial Planning

When a financial aid package is developed, you may be offered gift aid (grants and scholarships), loans and student employment.
Determinations for financial aid are based upon financial need, merit and fund availability. This website will clarify the cost of attendance, the different types of financial aid available, inform you of important deadlines and provide you with the forms and resources you need to complete your application for financial aid. Use the net price calculator to help estimate your cost of attendance and eligibility for federal, state and Stetson University financial aid programs.

Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act of 2013
During an Oval Office ceremony, President Barack Obama on Friday, Aug. 9, signed into law the student loan interest rate deal, under which interest rates will be based on the 10-year Treasury bill. The act, which Congress passed July 31, also sets interest rates at 2.05 percent for undergraduate Stafford (subsidized and unsubsidized); 3.6 percent for graduate Stafford; and 4.6 percent for PLUS (parents and graduate students). In addition, it includes caps: 8.25 percent for undergraduate Stafford; 9.5 percent for graduate Stafford; and 10.5 percent for PLUS. Loans will be "variable-fixed," meaning students would receive a new rate with each new loan, but then that rate would be fixed for the life of the loan.
