What Is The Best Graduate Student Loan I Can Get?
The most common and best option is the graduate stafford loan, which you can apply for subsidized or unsubsidized. If you can prove financial need, you may be approved for the subsidized loan, in which the government will cover your interest payments while you are in school and usually for a grace period of about 6 months after you graduate. Otherwise, unsubsidized loans are granted to anyone without financial need, but you are responsible for all interest payments. Both loans have a low fixed interest rate. For additional financial coverage, you also have the option of getting grad plus student loans. These are also federal loans with a fixed interest rate slightly higher than the stafford loans, but they are not at all based on need but on credit. They will cover the entire amount of your grad schooling, including books and accommodations minus the amount of any other loans you have obtained. They are almost exactly like a private student loan, another option you have, but they come with a fixed interest rate, which is big advantage over the unpredictable variable interest rate of a private loan. With a plus loan, the grad student needs to borrow it on his own behalf though. A parents plus loan, which is an option where a parent can take out a student loan on behalf of the child, is only applicable for undergrad students. Finally, you do have the option of taking a private student loan. This type of loan is not based on the amount you need for school directly, so you can borrow whatever you'd like, but it is based on your credit score and therefore may need a co-signer. It also comes with higher, variable interest rates. If you are considering a private loan, places like Citibank, Chase Bank and Bank of America among others, can easily accommodate you. A graduate student loan is much like any student loan, but with a seperate application. Look into your federal options before considering private ones because in the long run you will save money with their lower, fixed interest rates. Luckily, need based or not, there are many places for you to look. |
