Navigating the borrowing process

对于大多数研究生和专业学生来说,贷款是一个现实, 我们将帮助您完成从申请到还款的整个借款流程. 我们鼓励您做一个负责任的消费者,只借必要的东西. 我们强烈建议您在需要时向我们的学生金融服务团队寻求建议.

Keep in mind that with loans, 贷款人通常在付款前扣除贷款费用, which can impact the amount you need to borrow. 你应该在确定贷款申请之前计算贷款费用. Please see Federal Loan Fees for more information.

Repaying Your Loans

Be sure you're in touch with your Loan Servicer 在你多年的借贷中. 甚至在上学期间支付利息也是明智的, if at all possible, on any loans that are accruing interest (i.e. every loan EXCEPT the Direct Subsidized Loan). 一旦你准备离开学校,我们建议使用 Repayment Estimator 确定哪一个是最适合你的贷款偿还方案. 注意:随着收入状况的变化,你可以改变计划. 你要意识到这一点——你偿还贷款的时间越长,你要花的钱就越多.

Federal Direct Loans

The U.S. 教育部为符合条件的学生提供低息贷款,以帮助支付研究生和专业学校的费用. 这些贷款可以用来支付你的学费, 这包括你的直接成本(那些账单给你的)和间接成本, such as living, personal, and miscellaneous expenses.

To apply for Federal Direct Loans you must file the FAFSA and sign a 主本票(MPN)和完整的入学辅导. For all Federal Loans, 你还需要完成退出贷款咨询,当你不再登记至少一半的时间. 入学和退出咨询都提供有关借款条款的信息, interest accrual, and repayment options, and can be completed online.
