Are you able to accept a subsidized loan from last semester?

I would imagine this has been answered here before but I searched and I've searched Google and can't find a concise answer on this. I am an adult student wanting to go back to college at the age of 41. I've done the FAFSA and applied to my local community college. Their financial aid department tells me they don't participate in Stafford loans. I simply will not be able to attend school without it. I'm ...

Hi,

I have currently borrowed Stafford and Parent PLUS loans for the upcoming, full academic year, but I plan to transfer in the middle of the year to a much more affordable school. The loans I borrowed for my current school are a lot more than the total tuition of my future school - what happens to the portion of the PLUS and ...

I'm hoping to apply for a Stafford loan to cover the cost of the ACTR/ACCELS Russian Flagship study abroad program, which I've been accepted to for the 2013-14 academic year, but I'm not really sure how to approach the application.

I understand that PSLF has not been taken away for parent plus loans, but it appears that IRR has.
Are there other repayment options?
when my child started college this was an option, not sure what I am going to do now.

Apologies as I see a similar question was asked on the forum a couple of years ago, but things change, so I want to be sure I am working with current information.

My daughter will start college this fall and qualifies for a $3500 "subsidized federal direct loan".

First, is that the same as a subsidized Stafford loan?

Second, if we were able to pay off the loan in full immediately upon graduation, am I ...

Does anyone know if you previously had medical bill collection accounts on your credit report, but they are now paid off, will you still likely be denied a parent plus loan? Also, can another parent be a co-signer or endorser? I hope someone has some recent experience with this. Thanks.

Hi my federal loans are now in default but I attended school atleast part time during this time. I thought it went into automatic deferement if I was attending school.

I have entered into a rehabilitation because I know i'm responsible for the debt but honestly i thought they went into automatic deferement. If i call the department of ed and ...
