Unlike the Pell Grant, both types of loans in the federal direct loan program vary in amount based on whether you are a dependent or independent student. For example:

  • First-year undergraduate students: Dependent students can take out as much as $5,500 ($3,500 of which can be subsidized loans), while independent students can take out $9,500, with the same amount in subsidized loans.
  • Second-year undergraduate students: Dependent students can borrow up to $6,500, while independent students can borrow $10,500.
  • Third-year undergrads and beyond: Dependent students qualify for $7,500 in loans, while independent students qualify for up to $12,500 in loans. Read more
