Federal Programs
All students must demonstrate need as determined by the University Financial Aid office in accordance with the criteria established by the federal government.
1. Stafford Loan Program
Case Western Reserve University is a lender for these long-term loans at a variable interest rate. A student in good academic standing, who demonstrates need, may borrow a maximum of $8,500 in one academic year, to a maximum of $65,500 including undergraduate loans. Repayment begins six months after graduation or when the student is no longer enrolled at least half-time. A student who, after the results of need analysis, has not demonstrated need may qualify for an unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan.
2. Federal Stafford Unsubsidized Loan
Case Western Reserve University is a lender for this program, through which graduate and professional students in good academic standing may borrow up to $30,000 in an academic year. Borrowers are responsible for the accruing interest from the time the loan proceeds are disbeursed; however, the interest is not capitalized while the borrower is in school.
3. Health Professions Student Loans (HPSL).
This loan program enables full-time students with financial need (parental resources must be considered) to borrow the cost of tuition plus $2,500, at five percent simple interest. Availability of funds and financial need determine the loan amount. Repayment is made over a ten-year period beginning 12 months after raduation or when the student is no longer enrolled at least half-time.
