Federal Perkins Loan
“Under federal law, the authority for schools to make new Perkins Loans ended on Sept. 30, 2017, and final disbursements were permitted through June 30, 2018. As a result, students can no longer receive Perkins Loans.”
Federal Direct Subsidized Loans Direct Subsidized Loans are available to
undergraduate students with financial need.
Your college determines the amount you can borrow, and the amount may not exceed your financial need.
The U.S. Department of Education pays the interest on a Direct Subsidized Loan
while you’re in school at least half-time,
for the first six months after you leave school (referred to as a grace period*), and
during a period of deferment (a postponement of loan payments).
Must complete the FAFSA by April 15th
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans Direct Unsubsidized Loans are available to
undergraduate and graduate students; there is no requirement to demonstrate financial need.
Your college determines the amount you can borrow based on your cost of attendance and other financial aid you receive.
You are responsible for paying the interest on a Direct Unsubsidized Loan during all periods.
If you choose not to pay the interest while you are in school and during grace periods and deferment or forbearance periods, your interest will accrue (accumulate) and be capitalized (that is, your interest will be added to the principal amount of your loan).
