Many educational loans can have favorable terms of interest, such as the federal subsidized loans. For these the Federal Government covers the accrued interest while you’re in school. Federal Unsubsidized loans do accrue interest, but are often much less than other consumer loans, such as car loans, credit cards etc.

Repayment is required in the same academic term. There is a processing fee of $5. Applications are available at the Office of University Scholarships and Financial Aid. Limited funds are available.
