Own your Loan<\/h4>\n<p>Ask your lender questions, you are responsible for knowing what type of loan you are applying for and what the terms of the loan agreement as well as the repayment process. We highly recommend that you apply for financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid\u00a0(FAFSA)\u00a0before you apply for an alternative loan. More information about the Direct Loans can be found on our\u00a0loans page.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Is my credit checked every time I apply?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes and no. If you can apply for more than one loan within 30 day period and the credit will only be checked once. If the applications are further apart than 30 days, the credit check will have expired and be pulled again.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Here are some questions to ask your lender to get a good idea of the loan you are applying for:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Is the interest rate variable or fixed?\u00a0A variable interest rate can change, but a fixed interest rate will stay the same as long as you have the loan.<\/li>\n<li>Is the interest capitalized?\u00a0If it is, the amount of money you ultimately owe increases as the interest accrues over time.<\/li>\n<li>Is there an origination fee? Origination fees are charged by some lenders to cover their costs to process your loan.<\/li>\n<li>Are there fees for paying off the loan early?<\/li>\n<li>Are there any borrower benefits?\u00a0For example, some lenders may offer a discount on your interest rate if you sign up for automatic monthly payments.<\/li>\n<li>When do you need to start repaying the loan?\u00a0Some lenders require you to pay while you are in school. Others will defer payments until after graduation.<\/li>\n<li>Is a co-signer required?\u00a0Many students have no credit history and the lender may require a co-signer on the loan, the lender will inform the students during the application process.<\/li>\n<li>Are there other eligibility requirements?\u00a0For example, some loans require that you meet Satisfactory Academic Progress or are enrolled full-time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>4. Shop Interest Rates<\/h4>\n<p>Federal student loans (subsidized or unsubsidized) can often have lower interest rates than alternative loans. Be sure to know all the possible interest rates available so that you are getting the best deal for you! Alternative loan interest rates are based on credit history and may require a cosigner for students with limited credit history.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Know your Repayment Options<\/h4>\n<p>Federal student loans and alternative loans will have different repayment options. Learn about the differences so that you can choose which one will work best for you.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on loan repayment, visit our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/studentaid.gov\/manage-loans\/repayment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Repaying Student Loans<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;margin-top : 20px;margin-bottom : 0px;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 30px !important;padding-right : 30px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 30px !important;padding-left : 30px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-3{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":387,"featured_media":0,"parent":187,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"side-navigation.php","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[],"footnotes":""},"yst_prominent_words":[3150,3154,3152,3143,692,2597,121,1171,3147,3148,3157,3151,119,3155,3144,3149,152,2600],"class_list":["post-23173","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/387"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23173\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=23173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}},{"id":23139,"date":"2023-11-17T15:38:20","date_gmt":"2023-11-17T21:38:20","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/?page_id=23139"},"modified":"2026-03-31T16:49:43","modified_gmt":"2026-03-31T21:49:43","slug":"glossary-of-terms","status":"publish","type":"page","link":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/resources\/glossary-of-terms\/","title":{"rendered":"Glossary of Terms"},"content":{"rendered":"<h1><span style=\"color: #470447\"><strong>Glossary of Financial Aid Terms<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>In an effort to help you and your family understand the terms and definitions related to your financial aid package, we&#8217;ve compiled a financial aid glossary of terms for easy reference.

The borrower is responsible for the interest on an unsubsidized loan from the date the loan is disbursed, even while the student is still in school. Students may avoid paying the interest while they are in school by capitalizing the interest, which increases the loan amount. Unsubsidized loans are not based on financial need and may be used to finance the family contribution.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #470447\"><strong>Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>A William D.

For need-based federal, state, and institutional aid programs, the federal government may delegate authority to the FAA who can adjust the SAI\/EFC, adjust the COA, or change the dependency status (with documentation) when extenuating circumstances exist. For example, if a parent becomes unemployed, disabled, or deceased, the FAA can decide to use estimated income information for the award year instead of the actual income figures from the base year.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #470447\"><strong>Room and Board:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>An allowance for the cost of housing and food while attending college or career school.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #470447\"><strong>Return to Title IV (R2T4):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Federal regulations require PVAMU to perform a refund calculation for unearned aid on all students who withdraw on or prior to 60% of the payment period (semester\/term) and received Federal Title IV funds.

The Office for Financial Aid and Scholarships works to ensure that students are able to achieve their educational goals by offering a wide range of resources and information. Grants, work-study, student and parent loans, scholarships and non-resident tuition and fee waivers are used to develop financial aid packages for students.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-7{width:75% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-7 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 2.56%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 2.56%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-7{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-7 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-7{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-7 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-7{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2005,"featured_media":0,"parent":12183,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[],"footnotes":""},"yst_prominent_words":[124,155,132,121,69,74],"class_list":["post-22296","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2005"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22296\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=22296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}},{"id":22285,"date":"2022-03-07T14:33:38","date_gmt":"2022-03-07T20:33:38","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/?page_id=22285"},"modified":"2026-03-31T16:48:13","modified_gmt":"2026-03-31T21:48:13","slug":"resources","status":"publish","type":"page","link":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/faid\/resources\/","title":{"rendered":"Resources"},"content":{"rendered":"<div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-8 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-stretch fusion-flex-justify-content-space-evenly\" style=\"max-width:1216.8px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-stretch anchorBoxes fusion-column-inner-bg-wrapper fusion-column-liftup-border\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;border-color:#4f2582;border-style:solid;padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;\"><i class=\"fb-icon-element-1 fb-icon-element fontawesome-icon fa-money-check-alt fas circle-no\" style=\"font-size:50px;align-self:center;\"><\/i><style>i.fb-icon-element.fontawesome-icon.fb-icon-element-1{ color: #4f2582;}i.fb-icon-element.fontawesome-icon.fb-icon-element-1:hover { color: #4f2582;}<\/style><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-1{margin-top:15px!important;
