Now that all my Son’s decisions are in we are in the process of comparing financial aid offers. One of his school lists under “other aid” Federal Direct Loan $2500. It is my understanding that federal direct loans can either be subsidized or unsubsidized, correct? If so, why would the school not specify if the loan was subsidized or not? I will call or e-mail the school on Monday, but was curious about others experiences. One of his other schools has no loan component and the other is providing about 3100 subsidized and 400 unsubsidized.
