Abe Reopens $5,000 Graduate Scholarship Sweepstakes

Abe has reopened its Graduate Scholarship Sweepstakes, offering graduate students and their parents a chance to win $5,000. Entries are open through February 28, 2027. The no-essay sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the U.S./District of Columbia, age 18-plus, who are enrolled in a graduate-level program at an eligible institution, or the parents of these students. Entrants do not need an Abe student loan, do not need to apply for one, and face no GPA requirements.

Entry Deadline And Eligibility

One winner will be drawn following the February 28 entry deadline. The earlier sweepstakes ran from May 1, 2026 through July 31, 2026, and its winner was a J.D. candidate at Baylor University School of Law.

Earlier sweepstakes winner, J.D. candidate at Baylor University School of Law, said:

“This prize will help provide books, course materials, and other essential study resources needed for my legal education.”

Graduate Financing Options

The sweepstakes has reopened as graduate-level students face new pressures due to lower federal student loan borrowing limits and changing definitions of professional degree programs. Abe also offers student loans for graduate study, including master’s, doctoral, law school, MBA, medical, dental and healthcare professional programs.

Borrowers pay no application, processing or late fees for these loans. They are available for full-time, part-time, or less than half-time programs of study and cover up to 100% of graduate school expenses.1
