Non-Need Based Financial Aid

Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan (Stafford Loans)

This program is available to students who do not qualify for the maximum subsidized loan based on financial need. In most cases, students may receive the unsubsidized loan regardless of family income. However, the borrower is responsible for interest that accrues on the loan from the date the loan is disbursed and through repayment.

Students wishing to apply for this loan program must complete the entire financial aid application process.

They must also be enrolled at least half-time (6 credit hours) and follow the other guidelines as described in the section pertaining to Subsidized Loans.

There are priority dates each semester for the loan application process. Loans cannot be certified after the semester has ended. Refer to the section entitled “Required Forms and Deadlines”.
