Student loans, unlike grants and scholarships, are self-help aids. These are financial aid options where the student is required to pay back the amounts that they decide to borrow from different scourses. These generally come with interest rates where the students not only return the amount that they borrowed but also the extra amount that the interest rates yield. There are multiple places that the students can borrow money from, however, it is advisable to first try federal loan options, some of which are listed below:

  • Federal Direct Stafford loans: These are low interest loans, and are either subsidized or unsubsidized. Subsidized loans are given on the basis os students' financial needs, and the unsubsidized loans are given based on interest, and is not need-based
