Loans are available to undergraduate and graduate students; there is no requirement to demonstrate financial need. Your school 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.

Loans available to undergraduate students with financial need. Your school 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).

Private loans can help bridge the gap between the cost of education and other available aid. As all private loans are subject to credit approval and the interest and fees set with the respective lender, we recommend the use of private educational loan programs only after all other types of financing are considered. We encourage you to fully research the loans and lenders that best fit your needs using ELMSelect (elmselect.com), a neutral lender and product comparison tool.
