U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents
Numerous awards, including student loans, grants and work/study awards, are available for full-time and evening program students with demonstrated financial need. Many of these awards are subsidized by the U.S. federal government and therefore are available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents only. Click here for more information.
How To Apply
Applicants must complete the FAFSA form (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), usually available in December of every year from the financial aid offices of most colleges or universities, or at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
When To Apply
The FAFSA should be completed as soon as the required income tax information is available. Please note that the FAFSA is processed by the U.S. federal government and that processing will take 2-4 weeks before your results will be available to TCU or any other university. Priority for some grants is given to students who complete the financial aid application process by May 1. Applying after that date will not influence the applicant's loan eligibility.
International Students
Some private loans may be available to international students if the loan will be co-signed by a financially qualified U.S. citizen. Click here to see a list of private lenders and note which offer these loans.

Neeley MBA students also participate in professional internships over the summer months, most with salaries ranging from $22 to $35 per hour. It is not unusual for the students* who interned with local companies to continue working 10 - 15 hours per week for these companies during the second year of the MBA program.
*In general, international students on student visas may not work for off-campus companies except during the summer internship.
We welcome current and former military members as students at Neeley. In fact, we waive the $75 application fee for all military personnel. You also receive priority consideration for our merit-based awards to help you transition back to the classroom.
