Loan Information

Student Loans

Federal Direct Stafford Loan (subsidized):  This is a need-based program. Repayment on this loan begins 6 months after a student either graduates, stops attending or drops below half time enrollment.  The interest is subsidized by the federal government while a student is enrolled at least half time and until repayment begins.  If a student is offered a subsidized loan, additional steps are required before it is disbursed.  The student must be enrolled at least half time in order to qualify.  The award amount varies based on a student’s eligibility.

Federal Direct Stafford Loan (unsubsidized): This is NOT a need-based program. The interest on an unsubsidized loan is NOT subsidized by the federal government.  Interest accrues on this loan while is in school. If a student is offered an unsubsidized loan, additional steps are required before it is disbursed.  The student must be enrolled at least half time in order to qualify.  The award amount varies based on a student’s eligibility.
