In order for a student to qualify for loans they must complete the FAFSA.
Subsidized & Unsubsidized Stafford Loans
The Federal Stafford Loan program consists of two types of loans: subsidized and unsubsidized. Your eligibility for the two types of Stafford Loans is evaluated based on a complete current year Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and school information. Students may receive both types of Stafford Loans, but are subject to annual and career limits.
A Subsidized Stafford Loan is awarded on the basis of federal financial need. You are not charged any interest before you begin repayment or during authorized periods of deferment. The Unsubsidized Stafford loan accrues interest from the time of the first disbursement. You are not required to pay this monthly interest on your Unsubsidized Stafford Loan while you attend at least half-time in a degree program. However, unpaid interest on the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is capitalized by the lender onto the principal of your loan.
