55Student Loans56Student LoansFederal Loan ProgramsStafford LoanPLUS LoanPerkinsPrivate/Alternative Loans

As of July 1, 2010, all student loans come directly from the federal government through a program called Federal Direct. For Stafford loans, you might qualify for subsidized loansthis means the government will pay the interest on your loan while youre in school. These are awarded depending on financial need (and well get to that in more detail when we talk about the FAFSA). Just about anyone will qualify for an unsubsidized Stafford loan (where the student is responsible for paying the interest accrued while in school)

Perkins: potential forgiveness program

Private loans are made by banks, credit unions, or other financial entities. They often have fewer borrower protections than federal loans, so use all the federal loans available to you before turning to private loans. Usually carry higher interest ratesNo deferments/forbearances
