2. If you are a graduate or professional student, you can borrow up to $20,500 each year in Direct Unsubsidized Loans. Learn more. 
3. Be sure that you also apply for a Direct PLUS Loan if you will need to borrow more than $20,500 annually.   
4. Completing your Direct Plus Loan Application is a separate step, in addition to completing your FAFSA. 

Read through this helpful PDF entitled Federal Student Loans: Basics for Students for more information. 

Qualifying veterans may be eligible for the GI Bill or the Yellow Ribbon Program.
