subject: Financial Aid For Students [print this page] As far as loans for federal aid go there are the Federal Direct subsidized loan, the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan, the Perkins Loan, the Parent PLUS loan and the Graduate PLUS loan. Loans, unfortunately, are not free money. These, unlike the grants, must be paid back. The good news is that these loans generally come with a very low interest rate and a pay-back date that does not start until a student finishes school. It is because of this low interest rate and pay-back terms that these loans are much preferred over standard loans from commercial financial institutions. Due to these low rates and appeasing terms, many students and parents have more than one loan, that normally get consolidated into one large loan at the end of the student's education. Should the student decide to pursue any further education, such as graduate school, these loan re-payments can be postponed until the end of graduate school. At the end of their college career, a student must complete an exit exam to ensure that they understand the terms of their loans, so that there are no surprises in the future.
