Mental Health Loan Program
Graduate or undergraduate students may apply for up to $1,250 in loans per semester to cover outside mental health counseling costs. The loan program may be used for:
- Deductibles
- Excess balances after payment by your health plan
- Continuation of therapy after the maximum benefits have been reached on your health plan
The loan draws no interest until the student leaves the University. At this time, the loan is consolidated with any other financial obligations the student may have. If the student has no other loans with the University, the Mental Health Loan Program will be established as a long-term loan with the terms and conditions applicable to University educational loans.
