Definition of Intellectual Disability. Intellectual disability is a disability characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills. This disability originates before the age of 18.
What is the difference between a Direct Subsidized and a Direct Unsubsidized Loan? The Federal Government pays the interest for Direct Subsidized Loans while the student is in college or while the loan is in deferment. Interest begins accruing for Direct Unsubsidized Loans as soon as the loan is taken out.
The Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans are fixed interest rate loans with the same repayment programs and include options for deferment and forbearance, albeit the interest on the loans can be treated differently during in-school and grace periods.ffective July 1, 2013, first-time* Direct Loan borrowers are limited in the amount of time they can receive Direct Subsidized Loans. Borrowers may receive Direct Subsidized Loans for no more than 150% of the length of the studentâs current academic program (ex. 6 years for a 4-year program).
