贷款

Unlike other forms of aid, loans must be repaid.

联邦直接斯塔福德贷款计划

This federal loan is available to students enrolled on at least a half-time basis. The amount students can borrow each academic year is based on class level. 新生最多可以借5美元,500, 二年级学生最多可以借6美元,500 and juniors and seniors can borrow a maximum of $7,每学年500英镑. 

The 联邦 Direct Stafford Loan will be part of the financial aid offer package and the student must 提交 the FAFSA form in order to qualify. The loan will be certified by the 金融援助 Office once the student has accepted the loan and completed all loan requirements.

You must repay a student loan even if your financial circumstances become difficult.  贷款 can't be canceled because you didn't get the education or job you expected, and they can't be cancelled because you didn't complete your education (unless you couldn't complete your education because your school closed).  If you don't make your student loan payment or make your payment late, your loan may eventually go into default.  如果你拖欠助学贷款, that status will be reported to credit bureaus, and your credit rating and future borrowing ability will be damaged.  除了, legal action can be taken to require payment through garnishment of wages and withholding of tax refunds.

Completing a Direct Loan Master Promissory Note & 入学咨询

You can apply for a 联邦 Direct Stafford Loan and complete the required Master Promissory Note and 入学咨询 session at: Student援助.政府. (Do not complete before July 1 of the year in which you will be attending college.) Once you have applied and completed all requirements, Seton Hill's 金融援助 Office will be notified and we will be able to complete the certification process. 

联邦直接附加贷款

This loan is for parents of dependent undergraduate students. Parents who are credit approved may borrow a PLUS loan each year to assist in meeting college expenses that are not covered by other financial aid resources. This loan will not appear on the 金融援助 offer. The maximum amount a parent may borrow equals the total cost of attendance minus the student's total financial aid. Repayment traditionally begins within 60 days of the final disbursement of the loan, although parents may choose to make interest payments only and defer the principle until the student graduates. To obtain current interest rates please visit Student援助.政府
