What type of funding is available?
Federal direct loans
Federal loans are guaranteed government loans available to all U.S. citizens and legal residents. A completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form is required to determine eligibility. Visit studentaid.gov for details.
There are several types of loans:
- Subsidized loans are awarded based on financial need. The federal government pays the interest on subsidized loans while a student is attending at least half-time.
- Unsubsidized loans are not based on financial need and the federal government does not pay the interest.
- Parent PLUS loans are available to parents of dependent students enrolled at least half-time.
Private educational loans
Private loans are another form of financial assistance. We usually recommend that students pursue Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans before seeking private loans. Visit FastChoice to view Lynn’s preferred lenders list.

What is the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized loans?
A subsidized loan does not accrue interest while the student is in school. The interest on an unsubsidized loan, however, is the student’s responsibility and begins to accrue once the loan funds are disbursed. The student can opt to allow the interest to accumulate; however, it will be added to the principal amount of the loan and increase the amount to be repaid. We recommend that students contact their loan servicer to make quarterly payments on the interest.
