The unsubsidized loan is not based on financial need and may be awarded to both undergraduate and graduate students. The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) is will be your lender. We will determine the amount you are eligible to borrow.

Repayment on this loan begins six months after you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment.  You are required to complete an Exit Counseling any time one of the three previously mentioned scenarios occur at www.studentaid.gov.

Interest will accrue (accumulate) on this loan from the time it's first paid out. You can pay the interest while you are in school and during grace periods and deferment or forbearance periods, or you can allow it to accrue and be capitalized (that is, added to the principal amount of your loan). If you choose not to pay the interest as it accrues, this will increase the total amount you have to repay because you will be charged interest on a higher principal amount.
