Financial Aid

Loans—Upstate Foundation/Upstate Faculty Student Association

Both the Upstate Medical University Foundation and the Faculty Student Association provide short and long term loans to students. These loans funds have been donated by various individuals and organizations to assist students.

Short term loans are available to all students at the Center. These are intended for individuals who have emergency expenses, or whose financial aid has been delayed for reasons beyond their control. A maximum of $500 is available, and the loan must be paid within 3 months, or by the end of the academic term. No interest is charged for loans repaid as scheduled. Loans not repaid are charged interest of 5% per year, compounded semi-annually, on the outstanding balance.
