LOANS AND
OTHER RESOURCES
Federal Financial Aid
- Loans are dispersed through the central Office of Student Financial Aid; visit Vanderbilt University’s financial aid website for details about loan options.
- International students do not qualify for federally funded loan programs unless they are permanent residents of the U.S. International students may apply for a private alternative source of funding, but a U.S. citizen or permanent resident is required as a co-borrower. Vanderbilt offers two loan options that do not require a U.S. co-borrower, available through Prodigy Finance and MPower Financing. The two may be compared by viewing Vanderbilt’s Office of Financial Aid’s private alternative loan options information and clicking on FASTChoice to filter.
Other Resources
In addition to federal loans, scholarships, and employment, students should consider personal savings; family funds; sponsorship by their company or government; and other outside loans, grants, and scholarships.
Student Employment
- A limited number of graduate student work opportunities are offered within Owen and at Vanderbilt, including part-time jobs within the admissions office, marketing and communications, and the career management center. Job opportunities are promoted via email and in various Owen communications channels throughout the year.
- Once you are enrolled, you can search for opportunities and sign up for job alerts at Vanderbilt’s Student Employment Office website.
- We recommend that Master of Marketing students work no more than 20 hours per week.
- International students should contact their program’s admissions representative for information about specific work regulations.
