Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology participates in the Federal William D. Ford Direct Loan Programs, as well as the Federal Perkins Loan Program, and Rose-Hulman Gate Loan Program. Rose-Hulman determines loan eligibility and forwards loan applications to the borrower. Loans will not be credited to the student billing account until a signed promissory note is received.

Federal Direct Subsidized Direct Loan

  • Need-based loan, must file FAFSA
  • Annual loan limits are:
Freshman $3,500.00
Sophomore $4,500.00
Junior or Senior $5,500.00
Graduate $8,500.00
*A 4% origination fee is deducted from loan proceeds.
  • Interest is deferred while maintaining at least half-time enrollment.
  • The interest rate is fixed at 6.8%. Interest is deferred until borrower ceases enrollment.
  • Repayment begins six months after student ceases enrollment.

Federal Direct Unsubsidized Direct Loan

  • This loan is the same as the subsidized except the borrower accrues interest while in school, and the loan is not determined by need. Borrower has the choice of paying the interest that accrues over the enrollment period or capitalizing it at the end of the grace period.
  • Annual loan limits for dependent undergraduates are the same as the subsidized loans. Students may borrow up to those limits in either the subsidized, unsubsidized, or a combination of the two.
  • Independent undergraduates may borrow unsubsidized loans IN ADDITION to the subsidized up to $4,000 annually for freshmen and sophomores, and $5,000 annually for juniors and seniors. Graduate students may borrow up to $12,000 annually in addition to the subsidized amount.
  • Dependent undergraduate students may be eligible to borrower unsubsidized amounts in addition to subsidized if the Parent Loan (PLUS) has been denied.
