<p>I'm taking a 5-year program to meet the CPA requirements. I will be doing a B.S/M.S - Accounting and Taxation program and I'm wondering, do they give financial aid to 5th year students? Or is it only up to 4 years? Also say I do get finanical aid during my 5th year, do I get less?</p>
<p>Ask your school, but it’s my understanding that federal (and most state) aid is available if you haven’t received your BS yet. If your school still considers you an undergrad for that fifth year, then you will need to make sure you file FAFSA that way. If not, you would still be eligible for Stafford loans at the grad level and as well as Grad PLUS loans.</p>
