To determine eligibility
for the following programs, students must file
a FAFSA and submit a Student Aid Report (SAR)
in the Financial Aid Office.
Federal Perkins Loan Program -
these low-interest loans are available to undergraduate
students who demonstrate need.
Federal Stafford Loan Programs -
these low-interest loans are available to students
who demonstrate financial need. Students may
qualify for either a subsidized Stafford Loan
(interest does not accrue until after graduation)
or an unsubsidized Stafford Loan (interest
begins accruing immediately). Interest rates
on these loans are variable based on the 91-day
Treasury Bill, but not higher than 8.25 percent
(at time of publishing). Loan amounts vary
dependent upon year of enrollment in university,
the level of demonstrated financial need and
previous loan history. Graduate and undergraduate
students are eligible for this program.
PLUS Loan for Undergraduate Students -
these loans are not based on demonstrated financial
need. Parents may borrow up to the cost of
attending college less any other financial
assistance their son or daughter is receiving.
Credit history is taken into account by the
lender when determining eligibility for a PLUS
Loan.
