Federal Stafford Loans are available to eligible students through the Federal Direct Loan program. These student loans for graduate school are made directly by the U.S. Department of Education, not by commercial banks or other financial institutions. Most students are eligible for Stafford Loans regardless of credit history, income level, or value of assets. Students can borrow a maximum of $20,500 per academic year. Student loan disbursements are received directly by LFGSM. LFGSM will use a student's loan disbursement to pay for tuition, fees, and other school charges for the academic year. If any loan money remains, the student will receive the funds by check or ACH.
Currently, all loans carry a fixed rate interest of 5.84% per year. After a student graduates, leaves school or drops below half-time enrollment, the student will have a six-month grace period before loan repayment begins. During this period, the student will receive repayment information from the loan servicer, and the student will be notified of the first payment due date. Payments are usually due monthly.
The Direct Loan Program offers several repayment plans designed to meet the different needs of individual borrowers. Generally, a student will have ten years to repay student loans for graduate school, depending on the repayment plan chosen.
Lake Forest Graduate School of Management (LFGSM) is committed to attracting and developing outstanding leaders who inspire trust and confidence in others. Private donors have generously given scholarship money to support LFGSM's mission to develop great leaders who change lives. Besides these private donors, LFGSM offers scholarships and grants for inspiring leaders, tuition assistance, and more.

Our students demonstrate leadership potential right from the beginning of the program. We consider both professional experience and past achievements when assessing applications.

We are looking for self-confident individuals who actively seek opportunities to improve themselves.
Great leaders transform lives. Everything we do is geared toward molding Broad Thinkers and Strong Leaders who balance day-to-day operations with developing, communicating, and directing long-term visions for their organizations.
