Graduate Eagin Loans are an institutional loan program with UP acting as the lender. 

Students may see this loan on their award as “Graduate Eagin Loan.” Graduate Eagin Loan funds were donated by Blanche Eagin and are awarded to graduate students.

Graduate Eagin Loans are non-need-based, subsidized loans with interest suspended while the student is in school and during a 6-month grace period following graduation or withdrawal. Payments are automatically deferred while the student is enrolled at the university and during the 6-month grace period.
