MAXIMUM  ANNUAL BORROWING LIMITS
ESTABLISHED  BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
The table below shows the maximum amount a student can borrow each year,  depending on the student’s dependency status, as determined by information  on the FAFSA, and the student's academic level. In addition, student loans in combination with other Financial Aid for an academic year cannot exceed the cost of attendance.



Remember the difference between a Subsidized Loan and  an Unsubsidized Loan:

Subsidized means  that the federal government pays the interest on these loans while you  are in school and during deferments. You must show financial need to  receive a Subsidized Loan.
The federal government  does not pay the interest on an Unsubsidized Loan while you are in school  or in deferment. Interest is charged from the day the loan is disbursed  and you are responsible for the interest payments. You can get an Unsubsidized  Loan regardless of financial need.


MAXIMUM AGGREGATE  (Combined Total) LOAN AMOUNTS
The table below shows the total amount a student can borrow while attending  eligible post-secondary educational institutions.
