What is a Lifetime (or Aggregate) limit?

The total that an independent undergraduate student can borrow while enrolled in college is $57,500 ($23,000 of that may be in a subsidized loan). A dependent undergraduate student can borrow a total of $31,000 ($23,000 of that may be in a subsidized loan).
