Most students find it necessary to finance a portion of their education with student loans. Detailed information, eligibility requirements, and borrower responsibilities should be reviewed prior to borrowing. Eligibility for the programs below will be determined by the Office of Financial Aid and indicated on your Financial Aid Award letter.
Federal Direct Student Loan
Federal Stafford Loans are available to undergraduate and graduate students who are enrolled at least half-time.
- The Subsidized Federal Direct Loan is available to students who demonstrate financial need. The interest is paid (subsidized) by the federal government while the student is in school and during a six-month grace period after the student ceases to be enrolled at least half-time.
- The Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan is available to students who do not demonstrate financial need, or whose financial need has been met by other resources (e.g., grants and scholarships). The student is responsible for the interest that accrues on the unsubsidized loan during enrollment, grace, and repayment periods.
