unsubsidized student loans definition
Unsubsidized Student Loans are federally guaranteed loans that are available for students who desire to pursue education, but lack the financial resources to do so. These loans are not based on financial need. Interest on the unsubsidized student loans starts to accrue as soon as the loan is disbursed to the school. These are fixed interest loans and a student is not required to start making repayments while he or she is in school.
