CCSJ Student Loan Information 2008-2009
There are three primary forms of loans available for CCSJ students
- Federal Subsidized Loan – This is a loan for
which you must qualify based on financial need. The amount for which
you qualify is based on your enrollment status and on your level of
need.
- Federal Unsubsidized Loan – This loan is not
based on financial need. However, the amount that you may borrow is
limited by your enrollment status and cost of attendance.
Your CCSJ estimated award letter will list the maximum federal subsidized
and unsubsidized loan amounts for which you qualify based on the information
available to the CCSJ Office of Financial Aid at the time the award letter
was created. Though federal subsidized and unsubsidized loan money may
be listed on your award letter, there is no requirement that you take
out these loans. Also, you do not need to apply for the entire loan amount;
you may apply only for the portion of the loan that you need.

- PLUS* (Parental Loan for Undergraduate Students) LOAN
– PLUS are federal loans available to parents of undergraduate
students. The loan limit for PLUS is based on the student’s cost
of attendance minus other forms of financial aid received. The parent
must pass a credit check to qualify for a PLUS loan.
LOAN LIMITS FOR 2008-2009
The federal government limits the amount you can borrow based on your
enrollment status. Below are the annual loan limits for the 2007-2008
academic year. All students requesting a student loan for the first time
are required to complete Entrance
Counseling. Before leaving CCSJ, students who have borrowed Stafford
loans are required to complete
Exit Counseling. These counseling sessions will provide you detailed
information about the student loan process.
