IMPORTANT NOTE: Federal Financial Aid is only available for Peabody degree programs (BM, MM, DMA).  The Graduate Performance Diploma, Artist Diploma and Teacher Certificate are ineligible for Federal Loans and Work-study.  However, GPD and AD students are eligible for Peabody Scholarship.

Please note, newly admitted students into the Spring 2022 class will only be awarded half of their total federal aid eligibility for the academic year.
