Direct Subsidized Loans: These loans are available to undergraduate students with financial need. The government covers the interest on subsidized loans while you're in school.
Direct Unsubsidized Loans: These loans are available to both undergraduate and graduate students regardless of financial need. Unlike subsidized loans, you're responsible for all of the interest that accrues on unsubsidized loans.
Parent PLUS Loans: Parents who want to pay for their child's flight school education might qualify for this type of loan. PLUS Loans typically have higher interest rates than other federal student loans. They also require a credit check.
