Stafford Loan Facts

Choosing a Lender

Northeastern State Univesity has provided you with a list of lenders who have a history of providing exceptional service and benefits to NSU students. This list is proivded as a service to assist you in selecting your lender; however, you are free to choose from any participating lender who may not be included on this list.

Interest Rate

For new Stafford loans disbursed on or after July 1, 2006, the interest rate is a fixed rate of 6.8%.

Fees

A 1% Federal Default Fee and up to a 2% Origination Fee may be deducted from your loan proceeds. However, many lenders now offer zero fee loan options to borrowers and no fees are deducted.

Amount You May Borrow

The amount you are able to receive in Stafford loan funding is determined by a number of factors. Your grade level in school will affect the amount you receive. As you progress in academic standing, you are allowed to borrow more. Additionally, your financial need and other financial aid you receive will determine the amount you may borrow. Consult your award letter or the financial aid office for additional information.

Repayment Information

You are required to begin repayment of your Stafford loan six months after you graduate or six months after your last date of at least half-time enrollment. While you are in school, you are not required to make any payments on your loan. If you receive a subsidized Stafford loan, you will not have any interest accrue while you are in school. However, if you receive an unsubsidized Stafford loan, interest will begin to accrue following the date of disbursement. You may choose to make interest payments on your unsubsidized Stafford loan while you are in school. This will help reduce the amount you will repay when you get out of school.

First-Time Borrowers

If you are a first-time borrower at NSU, you must complete an online loan entrance counseling session prior to your first student loan disbursement. You may access this counseling session through www.nsuok.edu/finaid. Choose "Complete Loan Process - Stafford Loan" and then select "Begin Entrance Counseling."

NSU Student Financial Services

The office of Student Financial Services is located on campus between Seminary Hall and the John Vaughn Library in a red brick building. We are open Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
