Financing your University of Chicago education, complicated as it may seem at first, is a matter of straightforward choices. In Financial Aid, we focus on counseling graduate and professional students as they navigate these choices in order to best finance their education. We strive to educate both prospective and current graduate and professional students on responsible borrowing and help them make the best decision for their situation given the funds available to them.
