Loans For Undergraduates

Student Loans
Today, over 65% of students utilize loans to cover their educational expenses. 1 A student loan can be either a federal loan (i.e, Stafford & Perkins loans) or a private loan. These loans can be targeted towards a student or parent and require a separate application process for each type of loan. The private student loans offered through Fondo Futuro have competitive interest rates and make it easier to get the extra money you need for college expenses not covered by other forms of financial aid.

Federal Stafford Loans
Federal Stafford Loans are either subsidized, meaning the government makes all interest payments while the student is enrolled in school, or unsubsidized, meaning the student makes interest payments while enrolled in school or defers payment until graduation. Students must be able to demonstrate financial need to qualify for a subsidized Stafford loan, but all students regardless of their need are eligible for an unsubsidized Stafford loan.

Private Undergraduate Student Loans
Private student loans bridge the gap between the true cost of education and the amount of funding provided by federal student loan programs such as Stafford loans. These supplemental loan programs are extremely popular and provide attractive borrower benefits such as offering students a deferred payment option through graduation and a fast application process normally providing students with funds in less than two weeks!
