Federal Stafford Loan Program
You've made the right first step on the path to financing your higher education with a Federal Stafford Loan. Federal student loans are the most affordable loans available to students, with the lowest interest rates and deferred principal and interest payments until after graduation. If after maximizing your federal funding you still have unmet, consider Private Student Loans or the PLUS Loan for parents of undergraduate students.
After graduation, be sure to remember your student loans. Think about your repayment options and now might be a good time to consider student loan consolidation. When you consolidate your stafford loans, you are locking in today's low rates, combining multiple payments into one and lowering your monthly payment. Teachers and some other professionals may qualify for loan forgiveness programs.
