The Contrast Between Federal Loans and Private Student Loans

College life is often one of the most difficult times in the life of a student. College is the time in many people’s lives when they encounter new challenges and significant personal growth.  One of the major problems that a college student may encounter is the financial stress of paying for college. Not everyone who goes to college is financially stable. Many students utilize federal or private student loans to help pay for the expense of attending college.

Federal student loans is a type of loan offered by the federal direct loan program. The federal direct loan program offers college students the ability to borrow money directly from the federal government. Federal student loans have benefits that include low interest rates.  You can qualify for a federal loan without a cosigner or a stable credit history, while taking advantage of many options for repayment plans.

In contrast, private student loans are offered by credit unions, banks and private lenders. Private student loans also have many unique benefits and can be forgiven. The primary purpose of a private student loan is to help college students fund their education.  We offer the best customized programs possible for our clients.
