The federal government willpay the interest on your behalf while you are enrolledin school, and you must repay the loan plus interestbeginning 6 months after you leave school or drop toless than half-time status. You must be enrolled in atleast 6 credits hours or 8 clock hours per term.• Federal Unsubsidized Direct Student Loan - Thisloan is not based on your financial need. The federalgovernment does not pay the interest on your behalfwhile you are enrolled in school. You the borroweris responsible for the interest that accrues andcapitalizes within 60 days of your first disbursement.You must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours or 8clock hours per term.
