Loans
Stafford (Subsidized and Unsubsidized) - Loans made by financial institutions and guaranteed by the Federal Government. Stafford Loans range from $500 to $4500 per year depending on need and year in school. The Federal Government pays the interest on Subsidized Stafford Loans until six months after the student leaves school. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are essentially the same, but there are no interest subsidies. ***To complete the UHEAA master promissory note electronically, a PIN is needed. You can request this PIN at www.pin.ed.gov. This is the same PIN used to electronically sign the FAFSA.

PLUS (Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students) - This loan is a loan the parent of the student apply for and receive. Therefore eligibility is based on the parents credit rating. It is guaranteed by the Federal Government, but the borrowers are responsible for the interest.
