Stafford Loans • Stafford Unsubsidized Loan - $42,722 Fixed (interest accrues at disbursement) Interest = 6.8% Does not consider credit history Total loan amount is divided and disbursed by the # of terms the student is enrolled in an academic year. This loan is the basis of most student aid packages.
Origination Fees for the Stafford Loans for 2012-13 Stafford Loans: 1% origination fee which is subtracted from the loan money you receive Sample: $1,000(principal) - $10(origination fee) = $990

Annual Stafford loan limits In-state calculation Out of state calculation Cost of attendance $72,795* Stafford Loan limit $42,722 Remaining need: $30,073 (aka annual shortfall) *estimated costs Cost of attendance $59,521* Stafford Loan limit $42,722 Remaining need: $16,799 (aka annual shortfall)

Help??? How do I figure out how much loan money I need? Where do I start with figuring out a budget?
One Suggestion Start with annual Stafford loan limits and subtract fixed costs $42,295 = Max Stafford (minus fees – estimate) -$32,011 = Projected tuition & Fees (estimate only) -$1,412 = Health Insurance (last year’s amount – this will change) $8,872 = money for all other expenses Divide by 10 months = $887/per month
