Non-degree seeking students are not eligible for federal financial aid and loans unless they are taking undergraduate pre-requisite courses or teaching endorsement courses. Nebraska teachers enrolled in graduate programs may be eligible for special forgivable loans from the Nebraska Department of Education.
