Student Financial Services Counselors assist students in obtaining and making the best use of all resources available to finance the costs of attending the King Graduate School. Students at the graduate level may be able to fund their education through a combination of tuition reimbursement plans from their employers, the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan program, as well as payment plans by Nelnet. Others may be eligible for scholarships and/or grants. Monroe College has a number of corporate partnership agreements, and a student employed by one of these corporate partners may be eligible for a Monroe Partnership Grant.
