Duke University Financial Aids List<\/strong><\/p>\n

Federal Direct Loans<\/strong><\/p>\n

The interest rate on Direct Loans is fixed for the duration of the loan, regardless of whether the loan is subsidized or unsubsidized, and the government pays it. The annual loan limit is $5,500 for first-year students and $6,500 for sophomores, juniors and seniors.<\/p>\n

It would help if you were admitted to a degree-seeking program before you can apply for federal student aid; you’ll need to complete an application called the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If your family income falls below $50,000 per year (and if you’re independent), you may qualify for a federal Pell Grant up to $5,000 per year — but not all schools offer this grant, so check with them first!<\/p>\n

Perkins Loans<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perkins Loans are low-interest loans for students with exceptional financial need. The maximum annual loan amount is\u00a0$5,500<\/strong>, and the interest rate is 5%. You can borrow up to\u00a0$27,500<\/strong>\u00a0in Perkins Loans over your lifetime.<\/p>\n

Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FFEL Program provides loans up to\u00a0$5,500 annually<\/strong>\u00a0through banks and other lenders. Interest rates are fixed at 6.8% APR; however, they may increase over time as market conditions change–so make sure you know what kind of interest rate your lender is charging before signing on any dotted lines! Your loan will be repaid over ten years (or longer).<\/p>\n

Alternative Loans<\/strong><\/p>\n

Private lenders and banks offer alternative loans. The federal government does not guarantee them, but they allow students to borrow more significant amounts of money than they could with a federal loan. Alternative loans have higher interest rates than federal loans but tend to have fixed rates (which means your interest rate won’t change over time).<\/p>\n

Graduate Assistantships at Duke University<\/strong><\/p>\n

Graduate assistantships are a great way to earn money while you’re in school. The university pays Graduate assistants, usually a minimum of\u00a0$12 per hour<\/strong>, and they receive free room and board. In addition to financial support, graduate assistants also gain valuable experience that can help them land their first job after graduation.<\/p>\n

Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) at Duke University<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) is a federally funded need-based program that provides part-time jobs to students with financial need. The Office of Financial Aid administers the FWS program, which awards qualifying students with an award letter detailing their eligibility and funding amount.<\/p>\n

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed by March 1st each year to qualify.<\/p>\n
