Federal Stafford Loans have low interest rates. And you won’t have to make any payments while you are enrolled in school at least half-time.
There are two kinds of Federal Stafford loans:
The Subsidized Stafford – The government pays the interest that accrues while you are enrolled in school at least half-time. You are eligible for this type of loan based on your financial need.
The Unsubsidized Stafford – You are responsible for paying all the interest that accrues, although you will not have to begin payments until after you graduate or enroll in school less than half-time. You are eligible for this type of loan regardless of financial need.
Eligibility criteria are determined by the federal government and include:
There is no credit check and a cosigner is not required
* If you do not have a FSA PIN, you can obtain one at the Federal Student Aid website, pin.ed.gov.
Borrowers are encouraged to consider federal loans, which may be less expensive, before applying for a private loan.
