About student loans?
The maximum amount that you are able to borrow from the Federal Student Loan Program varies dependent on if you are an independent student or a dependent student. If you are in need of more funds during a given year your parents could apply for a Parent PLUS Loan, your parents would be on the hook for the loan, but the funds would go to you the student.





Your Federal Student Loans can be used for travel expenses, books, food, school supplies, etc. What will happen is the amount that you are approved for and you agree to borrow will be disbursed starting with your tuition costs for that semester and then moving to your room and board if you live on campus, then satisfying any other school fees you may have. After that the left over funds will be sent to you, usually in the form of a check and you can do what you wish with those funds.





You are eligible for Federal Student Loans as long as you are attending school at least halftime. If you are below halftime status as a student you will not be eligible for Federal Student Loan help. Your status is determined by the school and the amount of credit hours you are taking during a given semester.
