The Stafford Loan, also known as the Federal Direct Stafford Loan, is a type of low-interest loan that is available to students who are enrolled in college or career school. Stafford Loans are backed by the U.S. government, and they offer several benefits, including low interest rates, flexible repayment options, and loan forgiveness programs.
To apply for a Stafford Loan, you will need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is a form that collects information about your financial situation, and it is used to determine your eligibility for federal student aid, including Stafford Loans.
