Options for Financing Your Logan Education
Logan University participates in a variety of financial aid programs, including grants, loans and work-study. The Office of Financial Aid is here to help to you identify and apply for the assistance you need to make your dreams of a Logan degree come true.
Financial aid is available to students in degree programs who are enrolled at least half-time. Half-time is determined by the degree program in which you are enrolled. For the Doctor of Chiropractic program and all undergraduate programs, half-time requires a minimum of six credit hours per trimester. Our other graduate level programs require a minimum of five credit hours per trimester.

Part of the U.S. Department of Education, Federal Student Aid (FSA) is the largest provider of student financial aid in the nation. All students applying for federal financial aid are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. Eligibility is determined using a federal methodology formula as outlined by the U.S. Department of Education based on the information you submit.
The Federal Title IV school code for Logan University is 004703.
The FSA User ID (username & password) serves as your login to various U.S. Department of Education systems. Your FSA ID confirms your identity when you access your financial aid information and electronically sign Federal Student Aid documents. Never share your FSA ID with anyone. If you have not already created an FSA ID, you may do so here.
Each student needs an FSA ID. Graduate/professional students are considered independent and do not need parental information when completing the FAFSA. For dependent students, the parent providing the income information on the FAFSA will also need to register for an FSA ID.
Federal Grants—Available to undergraduate students only. May not have earned a bachelor’s degree. Pell Grants and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG) are based on need and do not need to be repaid.
State Grants—May be available for undergraduate and professional students. These often have deadlines. Check with your state for additional information. Undergraduate students from Missouri must have completed the FAFSA by February 1 to be considered. Doctor of Chiropractic students from Arkansas, Oklahoma and Mississippi have received state grants.
Federal Work Study—Available for undergraduate and graduate/professional students and based on need. Part-time job on campus in which the student receives a bi-weekly paycheck for the hours worked.
Book Voucher—Starting Aug. 19, Logan University students that have been approved for financial aid and are expecting to receive a credit balance may apply for a book voucher. This voucher will allow students to use their financial aid to purchase textbooks and other required course material and apply the balance to their student account. Book vouchers can only be used to purchase books in Logan’s Bookstore.
Military Aid—Students who have served in the U.S. military may be eligible for financial aid through the Post-9/11 GI Bill Program. Logan is also certified to provide Yellow Ribbon benefits providing 100% tuition coverage for eligible students.
Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid—To remain eligible to receive Title IV funds, students receiving financial aid must demonstrate satisfactory academic progress in their studies.
Student Loan Forgiveness—Some student loans may be forgiven. Find out if your loans qualify for this federal program.
Federal Perkins Loan—Loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program, often called Perkins Loans, are low-interest federal student loans for undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need. Under this program, the school is the lender.
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loans—For undergraduate and graduate/professional students. Under these programs, the U.S. Department of Education is the lender. These loans have a six-month grace period after the student is no longer enrolled at least half-time in a degree program and before the first payment is due.
