Student Loan Information

Federal Stafford Student Loans are available to students to assist with educational costs. They feature lower interest rates than other types of loans and are often issued or guaranteed by the government. Federal Stafford Loans can be need-based (subsidized) or non-need based (unsubsidized). The federal government will pay the interest on a subsidized loan while the borrower is enrolled in school or has gained deferment status. For unsubsidized loans interest begins to accumulate at the point of disbursement.
