Now that the college bill is due, it’s time to talk about the difference between Subsidized and Unsubsidized student loans. If you filled out the FAFSA, you’re offered $5,500 in a direct loan that is often called the “Stafford Loan”, and based on needing $3,500 that may be subsidized. The difference between the original $5,500 and the portion that is subsidized is unsubsidized. To know more visit Solution Prep online or call them today.
