STUDENT LOANS<br />
<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> College participates in the Federal Direct Loan<br />
program. Federal Direct Loans are either Subsidized or<br />
Unsubsidized.<br />
To participate in the loan programs, the student must meet<br />
Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements. Loan applicants<br />
must also have attained a minimum 2.0 term GPA during their<br />
last semester of attendance at <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> College. Loans are<br />
not processed retroactively for prior completed semesters.<br />
To qualify for a subsidized loan, the student must demonstrate<br />
financial need; unsubsidized loans are open to all students.<br />
While the student is in school, payment of principal is deferred<br />
on both types of loans. Interest on subsidized loans is paid with<br />
federal funds, whereas the student is responsible for accrued<br />
interest on unsubsidized loans. The amount and type of loan<br />
that a student may borrow at <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> College will vary<br />
depending on the student’s financial need and other sources of<br />
aid being received.<br />
