In a direct subsidized loan, the federal government pays the interest while the student is in college or while the loan is in deferment. This type is very different than unsubsidized loans, where interest begins to accrue as soon as the loan is taken out.
Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans. Share this page. The unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan is a federal student loan that is not based on financial need. Interest accrues on unsubsidized loans from the time the loan is disbursed by the school. If the borrower does not pay the interest as it accrues, it is capitalized (added to the loan balance). The interest is not paid by the federal government. This is the key difference between subsidized and unsubsidized student loans.
