Student Government Loans

Education costs are constantly rising making it difficult to pay a school in advance. Most students opt for student loans to help pay their continuing education.

Student loans can be received through government agencies or from private lenders. Students tend to prefer the student government loans as they have lower interest rates and flexible terms and conditions. In addition, the government loans offer various programs that can help the student in case they are unable to pay back the loan.

There are several types of student government loans. They include the following:

  • Stafford loans
  • Perkins loans
  • PLUS loans
