What is the Federal Stafford Loan Program?
This loan program provides low interest federal loans to eligible students through banks and lending institutions. The federal government pays the interest for qualifying students while they are enrolled at least half time. Students who do not qualify for these interest subsidies are responsible for the interest while they are enrolled. Repayment begins after the student leaves school.
