Can you still get the Max Federal Stafford going Part-Time? Forum

[newlifedrj]

Hello,

I'm considering applying to Part Time programs. A lot of these programs are pretty hefty in price, above the maximum Stafford limit of $20,500.

My question is, can you still get the maximum of $20,500 annually even though you're only attending part-time? Or does the school/government limit your allowable Stafford annual maximum dependent on the hours you're attending?

Thank you in advance.

You can get a loan for 20,500 assuming the program costs more than that. You'll probably also have to take out another kind of direct loan too, though.
