SUNY Plattsburgh Financial Aid Office - Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans

Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans

The tables below summarize the annual maximum loan amounts for total subsidized plus unsubsidized loans.

These loans have an origination/guarantee fee of 1.0% that is deducted at the time of disbursement. This results in a 1.0% difference between the loan principal and amount paid on the bill. For example, a $1,000 loan will result in $990 being deducted on the bill ($1,000-($1,000*1.0%) = $990).

To help you apply for these loans, we provide you with step by step instructions and important web links: Apply for Aid.
