- Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
- Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is a non-need based loan program, so students
with no financial need can even qualify for this aid program. Interest that
accrues on Unsubsidized loans must be paid by the borrower, even while
he/she is in school. The borrower may make periodic payments (monthly or
quarterly, depending on the lender's policy) or allow the interest to accrue
throughout enrollment and have the interest "capitalized" (added to the
loan's principle balance). While capitalization eliminates having to make
payments while in school but increases the total cost of a loan.
