Student loans for part-time grad student?

I'm a new grad student and my program only offers 2 classes each of the three semesters, fall, spring, and summer. Being a half-time student taking 6 hours instead of the normal full-time 9 hours will I still be able to get the full $20,500 stafford loan?





I know going half-time reduces your loan amounts for undergrad, but I'm not sure if grad school follows the same rules.





Thanks!

There are two sources for student loans -- the federal government and private lenders. In order to obtain most federal student loans, you will first need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In most%26lt;!--instances the FAFSA is required for all federal financial aid including federal student loans. Deferment options are available while you are still attending school at least half-time. There are four main federal loan programs.

Federal loan consolidation is for students who are in repayment status or parents who wish to extend the repayment period on their current PLUS and obtain a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan--%26gt;you can combine all of your eligible federal student loans into one loan with a Federal Consolidation Loan. Consolidating also locks the interest rate you pay on your loan.
Reply:Yes, it will reduce the amount you can borrow. NOTE: Half of 9 hours is not 6. Half of 9 is 4.5
