Student Loans

Types of Loans and General Loan Information

There are several types of loans available to Ohio Dominican students. Unless a student is in default of a previous student loan, has borrowed the maximum allowed as an undergraduate student, or has already received financial aid to cover all their costs, he/she will qualify for one or more of the loans listed below. A minimum of six credit hours of enrollment per semester is required for all loans. Students must complete the FAFSA to determine what loans they may be eligible to receive. See Apply for Financial Aid.

All first-time borrowers at Ohio Dominican must complete an Entrance Interview.

Stafford
This is a need-based loan subsidized by the federal government. The advantage of the Subsidized Stafford Loan is that no interest accrues as long as a student is registered for at least six credit hours. Learn More...

Unsubsidized Stafford
This is a non-need based loan subsidized by the federal government. Interest begins to accrue while the student is in school. Interest payments can be made during enrollment or deferred until the loan goes into repayment. Learn More...

Perkins
Ohio Dominican University has limited funds to award to students who show exceptional financial need and complete the FAFSA See Apply for Financial Aid. Students who are awarded a Federal Perkins Loan for the first time will be required to complete an Entrance Interview and Master Promissory Note (MPN). Interest rate is 5% and repayment begins 9 months after you leave Ohio Dominican. The student may choose to make payments on the interest only while he/she is in school or choose to have the interest capitalized. Learn More...
