Financial Aid
Students enrolled in the Paralegal Program are eligible for many types of financial assistance including the following:
1. Federal Subsidized/Unsubsidized Stafford Loans (graduate students only)
Due to the length of time required for processing, students seeking government student loans should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) when they first consider enrolling in the Paralegal Program!
2. Non-federal loans (for students who do not have a bachelor’s degree)
4. Military Tuition Assistance
5. Vocational Rehabilitation
6. Payment Plans: The University will be happy to arrange a payment plan for you for a small additional fee. Payment plans are arranged on Registration Day through Student Accounts. Full tuition must be paid prior to completion of the Program.
7. Employer reimbursement: Employers often encourage employees to seek additional education, and they are willing to contribute toward tuition. We will be happy to furnish you with grades as you progress in the course so that you may be reimbursed. However, it is the student’s responsibility to meet payment deadlines as set forth in your contract.
8. Credit Cards: Beginning January 1, 2005 the University of San Diego will no longer directly accept payments made by credit card for tuition and fees. As a convenience to students and families, USD has contracted with a third party vendor to accept Master Card, Discover and American Express card payments on-line. A convenience fee of 2.75% will be assessed by the vendor to payers making payment by credit card. Click here to access the E-pay system. Log-in as a Guest Payer and submit a payment.

9. Electronic Check: You can choose to make a payment directly out of your checking account (electronic check), or savings account by providing your banking information. The payment will be deducted from your account via Automated Clearing House. Click here to access the E-pay system. Log-in as a Guest Payer and submit a payment.
