We understand financial aid is not on your top ten list but it's an important component of an educational portfolio. That’s why we have stream lined our process for financial assistance.  Once you have completed the required FAFSA and or the Need Access application(s) for financial assistance; your application will be reviewed to determine eligibility. You will receive a financial aid letter detailing your eligibility. Students who are first time federal loan borrower at New York Law School will receive a Master Promissory Note (MPN) from the lender. The MPN must be signed and return it to the lender.  The MPN is valid for ten years and therefore this process will only need to be completed once, unless you change lenders.  Students applying for alternative loans must contact the lender for an application and submit the original loan application to the financial aid office unless your loan application was electronically signed. Electronically signed applications can be emailed or faxed to the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid.

Loan Disbursements

Educational loan programs cover costs incurred during the period of time you are in school (usually, the 9 month academic year).  Therefore, relocation costs (i.e. security deposits on apartments) as well as living expenses for the first month of the academic year should be planned for.  Proceeds from loans are refunded to students only after tuition and fees are paid and after the end of the add-drop period, so you should make sure you have ample funding with which to support yourself (and your family, if applicable) until then.  Using a credit card to help you in this effort will only result in increasing your monthly expenses.

Books and supplies will need to be purchased before the semester begins.  Therefore, you will need to set aside funds (possibly from one semester to the next) to make your purchases.  Again, the use of a credit card (unless you can pay the balance in full) will be detrimental in maintaining a monthly budget.
