The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA) is an annual application process that determines student award amounts for federal, state and college specific lending programs. Awards offered include merit-based grants that don't have to be repaid, subsidized student loans offered to students with low incomes and unsubsidized loans for those who don't meet the other criteria. Repayment plans for students vary depending on the type(s) of aid awarded and most of the bills can be paid online.
Stafford Loans are government-backed subsidized or unsubsidized loans offered to students who complete the FASFA. The loans have a relatively low interest rate that is currently below 7 percent. When a student has a need-based unsubsidized Stafford, the government covers the interest rate payments during the time of study. The unsubsidized version adds up the interest rate during the time of study and tacks it onto the total payment. Regardless of loan type, students aren't expected to pay this loan until they either drop below half time, withdraw or graduate. A six month grace period extends past these instances to provide students time to find jobs to meet the payment schedule.
Perkins Loans are also government sponsored but are issued by individual Title IV colleges and universities. This type of loan is always subsidized, though it carries strict loan limits, and has a lower interest rate of approximately 5 percent. There is a nine month grace period attached to these loans. Students who go on to teach in needed areas or volunteer for the Peace Corps may apply for a cancellation for a portion of the Perkins loan repayment.
Loan repayment plans start at $50 a month with a 10 year term or can increase gradually on a 25 year term. Students can repay the loans online through either the Department of Education website or through the specific government program that did the lending, such as Nelnet. A letter will be mailed prior to the start of repayment that provides information regarding where to make the payment. Students struggling with repayment can arrange a forbearance, a temporary payment pause based upon some demonstrated need, or a deferment, a longer pause due to enrollment or economic hardship.
