Financial Aid and Student Accounts
Undergraduate Financial Aid
SPS Undergrads can find financial aid information by visiting The Chicago Office of Financial Aid. Professional Development and Post-baccalaureate students (with the exception of those in the Professional Health Careers) are not eligible for financial aid.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements for Financial Aid
SPS students must demonstrate satisfactory academic progress (SAP) in three fundamental ways:
- by maintaining a GPA of 2.0 or higher
- by completing a specified number of courses per academic year
- by completing their program within a specified period of time
Students are encouraged to read the full SAP policy for more information.

Graduate Financial Aid
SPS students admitted to a master's program may be eligible for federal and state grants, student loans or SPS awards. Some employers offer tuition assistance plans; students should check with their employers before starting a program of study to see if tuition assistance is a part of their employee benefit package.
The Chicago Financial Aid Office administers the financial aid program for all graduate students. To access financial aid guidelines, forms and application deadlines, visit their website or contact them at:
