Make sure you use up your Federal Stafford Loan eligibility. All students are eligible for unsubsidized loans at 6.80% fixed (2007-2008) irrespective of family income or EFC.

For dependents, you are limited to $3,500 first-year, $4,500 second-year, $5,500 third- and subsequent years, with a $23,000 lifetime undergraduate cap.

Your parents should choose the Federal Parent PLUS Loans if that’s not enough. The rate through private lenders is 8.50% fixed and through the Direct Loan program is 7.90% (the one you get depends on the programs your school is part of). There are no caps on PLUS Loans, and the fees are about 3%. Repayment begins 60 days after disbursement, although many lenders are offering deferments and forbearances while the student is in school.
