Federal Direct Loans - Subsidized direct loans
Perkins & Stafford Loans - These federal, subsidized loans are offered to students demonstrating the greatest financial need. Awards are based on a student's need and a student's available funding.
Private Loans - Private loans, like from a bank, credit union or an organization, typically have higher interest rates than federal loans, and are generally unsubsidized.
