FEDERAL PELL GRANT
A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Generally, Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a Bachelor’s or professional degree. For many students, Pell Grants provide a foundation of financial aid to which other aid may be added.
TYPES OF DIRECT STAFFORD LOANS AVAILABLE ARE:
- SUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOAN
A subsidized loan is awarded on the basis of financial need. You will not be charged interest before you begin repayment or during authorized periods of deferment. The federal government “subsidizes” the interest during these periods. - UNSUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOAN
An unsubsidized loan is not awarded on the basis of need. You will be charged interest from the time the loan is disbursed until it is paid in full. If you allow the interest to accumulate, it will be capitalized – that is, the interest will be added to the principal amount of your loan and additional interest will be based upon the higher amount.
Students are encouraged to apply for one, or a combination of financial aid types available.
