What is the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford Loans?

A subsidized loan is based on financial need. The federal government will pay the interest on a subsidized loan through your enrollment period in school and through the grace period. An unsubsidized loan is not based on financial need. You must either pay the interest monthly/quarterly, or have the interest capitalized (added to the principal loan amount). Repayment of the interest and principle begins six months after you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment. 

Category: Financial Aid

Should I be paying my interest on an unsubsidized student loan while in school?

If you can pay the interest while in school, you will repay less in the long run. If you choose to capitalize the interest (having the interest added to the principle amount of the loan), you will increase the total amount you must pay back after you graduate or drop below half-time enrollment.

Category: Financial Aid

Do I have to borrow the entire amount of loan on my Award Letter?

No, borrow only what you need to meet your educational costs. Simply write on your Stafford Loan Authorization Form the total amount you wish to borrow for the academic year.

Category: Financial Aid

What if I borrow the loan and later on find out I don't need the loan?

You can repay your loan to your lender at any time without penalty. Contact the Financial Aid Office if you want to cancel all or part of the loan during the school year.

Category: Financial Aid

If I do not want to borrow an educational loan at this time, is there another option for financing my college costs?

After you have been accepted to Crown, you can apply for housing. A Housing application will be mailed to you, or you can download the housing application online.

We typically send out room assignments at the beginning of August. When you receive your room assignment, it will include the name and contact information for your roommate(s) as well as the sheet size (extra-long or standard) you will need.

It is sometimes necessary to make changes to your initial assignment due primarily to people canceling. We will notify you of changes as time permits.

What if I know who I want for a roommate?

If you want to room with someone specific, both people must request each other on the housing application.  Housing applications and deposits should be sent in for both students before July 15th to honor roommate preferences.

Can I be in a room by myself?

A large part of residence life at Crown is building relationships within the community here. Because of this, we offer a limited number of single rooms in Main Hall. Most female residences for new students have rooms with four people per room, and male residences for new students have rooms with two people per room.

When can I move in?

You will receive orientation packets in the mail about two months before the beginning of the semester.   Please look through your packets for the dates and times of move-in.  If you are involved with an athletic team, music group, or other activity that requires early arrival you will receive information about your arrival date from your coach, director, or the coordinator of the activity with which you are involved.

Can I burn candles in my room?

Because of serious fire danger, open flames (including burning candles, incense, lighted potpourri, etc.) are not permitted.  Therefore, we ask that you leave candles and incense items at home.
