Federal Direct Loan – No-Interest Period

The federal government provides student loans at no interest for up to 10 years for students who have not completed their undergraduate studies prior to beginning repayment. In addition, no credit check is required for these loans. However, if you do borrow money from the federal loan program, you’ll need to work hard to pay off those loans. Once you start repaying them, you’ll face monthly payments and interest charges, starting after six months of enrollment. You may even owe more than you originally borrowed due to accumulated interest.

Stafford Loan – Interest Rate Changes

If you take out a subsidized Stafford loan to attend school, then the interest rate changes periodically depending on how much you borrow, where you go to school, and what type of school you enroll in. If you graduate without repaying your loan, the remaining balance becomes a tax liability for you.

Perkins Loan – Fixed Payment Amount

Perkins loans don’t have an initial fixed payment amount. Instead, the payment remains the same throughout your entire period of attendance at a qualifying institution. Unlike the Stafford loan, however, Perkins loans receive low interest rates only while you’re attending school. As soon as you graduate, the monthly payment jumps to double the original amount.

PLUS Loan – Interest Rate Changes (if borrower makes 120% of poverty level)

Plus loans are similar to subsidized Stafford loans. However, they provide higher loan amounts and lower interest rates than subsidized Stafford loans. Plus loans have fixed interest rates until you graduate from college. After graduation, the interest rate increases annually according to the Consumer Price Index.

Parental Guarantee Loan

Parents often use a parent guarantee loan to help cover the costs of private elementary or secondary education. For example, parents can use a parent guarantee loan for tuitions, room & board, books, supplies, transportation, childcare, and other educational expenses. Parents can apply for a parent guarantee loan at any time, regardless of whether or not their child is enrolled in school, and once approved, parents won’t have to repay the loan unless their child doesn’t complete his/her schooling.

Private Education Loan

Private education loans aren’t guaranteed by the U.S. federal government. These types of loans are commonly used for postsecondary education such as higher education, technical training, and apprenticeship programs. Private loans generally have longer terms than federally backed loans, so borrowers often feel less pressure to make timely payments. Like other types of loans, the interest rate charged varies based upon various factors including term, amount borrowed, and credit history.

Graduated Repayment Plan

Graduated repayment plans allow you to divide your total loan amount into several smaller monthly installments over the course of your repayment period. By making these payments regularly, you’ll reduce the length of time you spend paying back your loan and save money in the long run.

If you’ve ever wanted to start a business but didn’t have the capital, this may be your chance.

In April, the U.S. Department of Education announced changes to federal student loans that would make them easier to access and use. The program, called Promising Practices, includes two initiatives intended to create more opportunities for students and entrepreneurs to build their careers through innovative ideas that could improve life in America today.

The first initiative “is about making sure that we have loan products that work best for borrowers,” said Acting Secretary Elizabeth M. Duke in a statement. “We want to give people more flexibility in how they pay back their loans, while maintaining affordability and protecting taxpayers.”

The second initiative “will help our entrepreneurs succeed by reducing regulatory burdens and streamlining government processes,” she added.

For those who qualify under both programs, the maximum amount of federal funding available will increase from $17 billion to $20 billion.

A certificate program student loan is a type of Federal Direct Loan (commonly called consolidation loans) that combines a federal direct loan for undergraduate study with a private lender’s loan to cover the costs associated with graduate and professional school degrees. A Certificate Program Student Loan is one of three types of federal student loans – Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized, Direct Unsubsidized Private Loan, and Direct PLUS Loan.

What is Certificate Loan?

Certificate loan is a type of student loans where banks provide education loans, but only after they have issued them a certificate of indebtedness (COI) or certificate of participation (COP). A COI/COP is a document issued by the bank that states how much money is owed to the lender. After receiving this document, the borrower becomes legally obligated to repay the amount stated on it. In return, the lender agrees not to seize any property owned by the borrower until the original debt is repaid. Borrowers pay interest to their lenders while their certificates are outstanding. They may choose to make payments before they leave school, but they cannot make partial payments.

How do we use Certificate Loan?

We use Certificate loan to finance our graduate programs. This means that when we receive a certificate of participation from the bank, we can then apply for a Certificate Loan to help us cover the remaining costs. We then begin making monthly payments towards our loan. These payments are deducted automatically from our banking account.
