Financial Aid for Online Students


How to Fund Your Graduate Certificate Education at Texas A&M University

Students enrolled in the Bush School certificate programs are eligible for federal financial aid as follows:

  • For the Certificate in Advanced International Affairs, federal financial aid is available for four courses.
  • For the Certificate in Homeland Security, federal financial aid is available for the core, required course and four elective courses.
  • For the Certificate in Nonprofit Management, federal financial aid is available for the two core, required courses and two elective courses.
  • For the Certificate in Public Management, federal financial aid is available for the two core, required courses and two elective courses.

Admitted certificate students are able to take additional courses for their certificate (or for multiple emphasis areas). However, courses taken in excess of the minimum requirement to obtain the certificate are not financial aid eligible. Plan your course work accordingly!
