Stafford Loans From the Student Loan Network

Students enrolled at Hampshire College are eligible for a Stafford Loan from the Student Loan Network. Rising tuition at Hampshire College, estimated at $40,582 for the 2009-2010 school year, together with limited financial aid, has created a widening gap between the cost of college and your ability to afford it. A stafford loan fills that gap by providing the difference between school expenses and financial aid such as scholarships and grants. That means less out-of-pocket expenses until after graduation from Hampshire College.
