Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Education Program
Tuition and Financial Aid
The 2012-2013 tuition is $1,950 per course unit.
The type of aid available to students enrolled in this program is the Federal Stafford Loan. Private alternative loans are also available, but the Federal Stafford loan is the better option because the interest rate is lower. Brochures about private alternative loans are available from Bryn Mawr’s Office of Financial Aid. Note that 5th year students do not qualify for any other type of federal aid or a Bryn Mawr Grant.
You must be enrolled at least half-time to be eligible to receive Federal Stafford Loan funds.
To apply for the Federal Stafford Loan, you will need to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The maximum amount you will be able to borrow is $5,500 if you are applying as a dependent aid applicant. If you meet the federal definition of an independent aid applicant, you would be eligible to apply for an additional $5,000 in the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can be completed online. Alternatively, you may obtain a paper FAFSA from the Office of Financial Aid your public library or by calling 1-800-433-3243. If you are selected for verification by the federal processor, you will need to submit signed copies of 2005 federal income returns, but you won't know that until you receive the results of your FAFSA.
If you plan to apply for a Federal Stafford Loan as a 5th year education student, please contact Ethel Desmarais, Director of Bryn Mawr’s Office of Financial Aid, at (610) 526-5245 to ensure that the application process goes smoothly.
