Stafford Student Loans

      Stafford Loans are a major form of self-help aid for students and can be subsidized or unsubsidized. Depending on the school you attend, your Stafford Loans may be made either through the Direct Loan Program or through the FFEL Program. Generally, schools participate in the Direct Loan Program or the FFEL Program, but not both. Direct and FFEL Stafford Loans have identical eligibility requirement and loan limits. The major difference between the two programs is the source of the loan funds and repayment options. Under the Direct Loan Program, the U.S. government loans you the funds. Under the FFEL Program, the funds for your loan are lent to you from a private lender (a bank, credit union, or other lender that participates in the FFEL Program).

     If you're a dependent undergraduate student you can borrow annually up to:

• $2,625 if you're a first-year student enrolled in a program of study that is at least a full academic year.

• $3,500 if you've completed your first year of study and the remainder of your program is at least a full academic year.

• $5,500 if you've completed two years of study and the remainder of your program is at least a full academic year.

     If you're an independent undergraduate student or a dependent student whose parents are unable to get a PLUS Loan, you can borrow annually up to:

• $6,625 if you're a first-year student enrolled in a program of study that is at least a full academic year (only $2,625 of this amount may be in subsidized loans).

• $7,500 if you've completed your first year of study and the remainder of your program is at least a full academic year (only $3,500 of this amount may be in subsidized loans).

• $10,500 if you've completed two years of study and the remainder of your program is at least a full academic year (only $5,500 of this amount may be in subsidized loans).
Generally, if you're a graduate student, you can borrow up to $18,500 each academic year. (Only $8,500 of this amount may be in subsidized Stafford Loans.)
