The Financial Aid Desk:
Taking out student loans is a big commitment and an investment in yourself that should be fully considered. For many students, taking out student loans is essential to the opportunity to learn a valuable skill and vocation. Although you will have $10,250 in an Unsubsidized loan available to you per semester (based on eligibility), you may borrow less than the maximum if for any reason you don’t need the full amount. Students also have the opportunity to apply to borrow additional funds in a Graduate Plus Loan if needed.
The Department of Education wants students to be able to pay back their loans and a variety of repayment plans are available to fit many diverse circumstances. Since 2008 they have developed even more choices for shorter or longer, higher or lower payment schedules.
No Dragon Rises College graduates are currently in default, according to the Department of Education statistics.
