When will I receive my graduate Stafford loan?
- Fixed interest rate - 6.8% or lower
- No payments while in school at least half-time
Stafford loans are disbursed by the school, so it's up to the individual school to decide when funding is released. Check with the school financial aid offices for disbursement dates. If the bills are already due and the loan isn't available, a private graduate student loan is a good option to bridge the gap.
