Student Loan Guide


Student Loan Guide
1. Stafford Loans
 Almost all students can get Stafford Loans no matter what your credit score is or other financial problems you may have had in the past. 
2. Parent PLUS Loan
A Federal Parent PLUS Loan is a loan that parents of dependent students can apply for to help pay for the remainder of school that the financial aid package did not cover. 

3. Federal Perkins Loan
A Perkins Loan is a federal loan given to undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial needs. It has a low interest rate at 5% and unlike other loans, it has to be applied through the student's financial aid office at their school. 

4. Graduate PLUS Loan
The Graduate PLUS Loan is almost exactly like the Parent Plus Loan except for the fact that it is for a Graduate Student to apply for.
