FIU Executive Education programs are designed to enhance your management skills and boost your career success. Because our certificate programs are non-credit and do not lead to a degree, they do not qualify for traditional student financial aid. However, financial assistance is available in a variety of methods:

Student Loans

Private student loans are available for our programs through SallieMae. We strongly recommend participants submit their loan application at least six (6) weeks prior to the start of the program to ensure completion of the loan process prior to program start. For more information such as types of loans available, eligibility or to apply, please telephone 877.279.7172 or visit: SallieMae SMART Option Loan

Note: Once at SallieMae’s site above, please click on Career Training Loan. It’s important to note that student loans for FIU Executive Education programs qualify for the same variable and fixed rates as Undergraduate student loans, which generally are lower than those for typical career training loans. Once your loan is approved, make sure your interest rates match the current undergraduate rates.
