Is A Student Loan Right For You?
Student education loans
are a form of financial assistance provided to students pursuing an education. All of the steps required for student grants are also required to determine your eligibility for student loans. Because of this, if you become ineligible for all federal student aid, this will include student loans.
Your eligibility for grants affects your loan amount. Therefore, grant eligibility is typically determined before loans are awarded. Loan processing typically takes longer than awarding of student grants. If you apply for student loans early, you have the option of canceling all or a portion of your loan amount before the money is disbursed to you. If you wait for your grant eligibility to be determined, you may put yourself in a situation where you would need to make payment on your classes while your student loans are being processed.

Information
Federal Direct Student Loans
federal direct loan program
The William D. Ford
Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program
allows students to borrow money to help pay their educational costs while they are in school. As long as the student is attending at least six credit hours and does not cease to attend for a period greater than six months, the student does not have to begin repaying the principle balance or the interest. Although, they may make payments if they so choose. In order to be eligible for this program students must:
be registered and attending at least six credit hours in the term(s) for which they wish to borrow;
complete all steps necessary to determine eligibility for student grants, including-but not limited to-completing the FAFSA and, if selected for verification, the verification process;
complete the Edison State Direct Loan Application Process;
meet the requirements of the Edison State Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy; and
not be in default on any student loans or have received an overpayment of any educational grants or loans.
Subsidized Student Loans
The interest on subsidized loans is paid by the federal government as long as the student is attending at least six credit hours and attends for a period greater than six months. Once repayment begins, interest will begin to accrue that the student will have to pay back. Eligibility for these loans is based, in part, on financial need.
Unsubsidized Student Loans
Unsubsidized student loans accrue interest beginning on the day the loan is disbursed. However, the student does not have to begin repaying this interest and/or the principle balance until he or she drops below six credit hours or ceases to attend for a period greater than six months. Additionally, eligibility for these loans is not based on financial need. Even those students whose EFC is too high for them to receive grants may be eligible for unsubsidized loans.
IMPORTANT
To take out a Direct Loan, you must complete a
Master Promissory Note
(MPN), as well as
Entrance Counseling
(if it is your first student loan) and
Exit Counseling
upon departing. You can complete these steps via the link below.
Federal Direct Loans
Federal Direct PLUS Loan for Parents
The
Federal Direct PLUS Loan for Parents
is a form of aid supported by the Department of Education to help parents pay educational expenses for dependent, undergraduate students. Funds for this loan come directly from the federal government. They usually have low interest rates and offer attractive repayment terms, benefits and options.
IMPORTANT
To take out a Federal Direct PLUS Loan for Parents, you must complete a

Direct PLUS Loan
Alternative Education Loans
Alternative Education Loans
are available from private lenders. The terms and conditions of these loans are set by the individual lender. Deferment of payments until after graduation is not offered by all lenders and interest rates may not be fixed.
IMPORTANT
You may qualify for federal or state aid in place of or in addition to an alternative loan. We recommend you speak with a Financial Aid counselor to discuss your options as receiving an alternative loan may affect your eligibility for free or low-cost federal, state or institutional aid.
Nurse Education Assistance Loan Program (NEALP)
