GRADUATE AID:

Students who are admitted to the MSTCM program are eligible to borrow graduate-level Direct Unsubsidized Loans. If you meet all the above Federal Student Aid eligibility requirements, you can borrow up to $20,500 for the 2 semester terms. The total aggregate federal loan amount limit is $138,500 (this includes the loan amount that students have borrowed from any previous institutions.)

There is a loan fee on all Direct Unsubsidized Loans.  The loan fee is a percentage of the loan amount and is proportionately deducted for each loan disbursement. The percentage varied depending on when the loan is first disbursed. (see linked for details https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/types/loans/subsidized-unsubsidized)
